Erik ten Hag press conference LIVE transfer latest and Manchester United v Aston Villa team news

Erik ten Hag will talk 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, although he is set to be asked for an update on the fitness of his players ahead of the match.
