Erik ten Hag spoke with the media in the early hours of Friday morning (GMT) ahead of Manchester United vs Aston Villa. United have made a perfect start to pre-season with a 4-0 win over Liverpool in Thailand being followed up with a 4-1 win over Melbourne Victory and then beating Crystal Palace 3-1 at the MCG.

Having travelled to Perth, Ten Hag's side's fourth and final fixture of the tour will see them come up against more Premier League opposition in Aston Villa.

United have added Christian Eriksen to their squad since flying Down Under, with Lisandro Martinez to follow shortly after, but neither will be involved in the match as they won't meet up with their teammates until they're back in Manchester next week.

The manager will make more changes with Scott McTominay appearing to be the only likely absentee from the United squad. Follow every word the manager had to say in our coverage below. Erik ten Hag has challenged Harry Maguire to silence the boo boys with his performances after the Manchester United captain was jeered on the club's pre-season tour.
