The Real Reason Why Manchester United Will Beat Aston Villa on Sunday

Don’t worry my fellow Villans, it’s not because they’re a better side than us. No, no, no. It’s because they’re our bogey side. You only have to look at the head to head record, and without even checking, I guarantee they’ve got more wins over us since I started supporting Villa back in 1975.

Who can forget Boxing Day 2023. We were battering United, went two goals up, cruising, only to somehow lose 3–2 by the end. I mean, we were the better side. Clearly. But that ridiculous jinx they have over us dragged them through once again.

Then last year. The final game of the season. Against our bogey effing side. Of course it was. All we needed was a draw, just a draw, and because of how the other results fell, we’d have been in the Champions League. But no. The bogey team struck again.

I’m honestly starting to think that if we could pick any players in history, past or present, and put them up against the worst Manchester United team ever assembled, the jinx would still find a way. They do my head in.

Look, we are head and shoulders above United at this moment in time. Our stadium is better, our owners are richer, our form is stronger, and our squad runs deep with quality, something United simply cannot say. And yet, I’ve got a horrible feeling.

Just don’t. Just bloody don’t. UTV
