Aston Villa fan Amy Rose Finley has shared her views on why supporters should be optimistic as the Villans look to bounce back from the midweek loss to Barcelona against Manchester United this weekend.

"I was quite excited about going to Old Trafford this Sunday. It almost felt like a guaranteed three points. I mean that with respect," Finley said.

"Now it feels like they have had this miraculous comeback [against Roma] and they're going to go into this game against Villa with a load of momentum. Villa are coming off the back of a good beating.

"There will be a contrast in momentum, so that is kind of frightening to me. Looking ahead, I do believe our team and strategy are better than Manchester United's.

"We certainly have a far superior manager, so I think we will win this game, but it will be a lot harder than I initially thought.

"I would be happy with a point, but we need a win."
