Man Utd boss Solskjaer: Aston Villa very good team; there'll be rotations | OneFootball

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer expects a major test against Aston Villa.

United face five games in 15 days.

"They're a very good team, you saw them last week beat Everton.," he said. "They've had a very good season. They had a little spell with some worse results but we played them in a pre-season friendly before this season and lost, then we won a hard-fought game 2-1 at Old Trafford [on New Year's Day]. We know it's going to be tough.

"The energy we used [against Roma] will probably be filled up twice because of getting to a final. I think we'll recover, refuel, because the players know it's a big game for us.

"I trust my players to get a result. Sunday is a massive game and we're looking forward to it after the boost of getting into a final. This will hopefully give us energy and then let's see what we do Tuesday and Thursday. We just have to take it day by day and hopefully we can play those games."

He continued: "We want to try to put a good performance, a good product out there.

"At the moment it looks difficult but knowing these boys, they'll take the challenge head on. Knowing me, I'll take the challenge head on. But I cannot risk them, so it has to be rotation and it has to be a lot of rotation, a lot of decisions made on the day of the game.

"I can promise you that its impossible to play 90 minutes at this intensity, at that level in the Premier League, four times from Thursday to Thursday. That means I cannot play everyone every minute, which means we've got to prioritise."
