Aston Villa defender Mings: We don't fear Man Utd at all

Tyrone Mings says Aston Villa harbour no fears about travelling to Old Trafford on Sunday.

Dean Smith's side will play Manchester United on the back of a morale boosting win over Newcastle last Monday.

"I wouldn't say they are there to be got at but I would definitely say that they probably haven't clicked this season as they would have liked to," Mings said. "They're probably quite frustrated with the results that they've had.

"Some of their key players being injured hasn't helped either but we have all respect for every team in the league and Sheffield United are a good team as well, so there's no surprise that they cause teams problems.

"With Man United, we'll look at what their weaknesses are and how we can attack them and how we can nullify them.

"They've obviously got world-class players all over the pitch so we'll know full well the challenges that we'll face but we haven't gone to any team so far and been humiliated so that stands us in good stead, knowing that we can go toe-to-toe with anyone.

"Being at such a big club like United obviously comes with massive expectation and I think if you get into a game and things aren't perhaps going well for them on the pitch, naturally fans seem to turn against you.

"So if that situation was to arise then potentially it's something we can use to our advantage."
