Aston Villa great McGrath happy for fans after victory at Man Utd

Aston Villa great Paul McGrath was delighted for the fans after victory at Manchester United.

McGrath also played for United and wrote for the Sunday World: "While I was disappointed by United's display, the other half of my heart was delighted to see Villa win yesterday.

"I had some of the best years of my career at Villa Park and they deserved the victory that was earned by Kortney Hause's late goal.

"Losing Jack Grealish was a massive blow to Villa, but I have been so impressed with how they have started this season in his absence.

"What manager Dean Smith has done by signing players like Danny Ings is ensure that Villa are no longer relying on one player to win matches for them and it was a team effort against United.

"I was delighted to see the Villa fans celebrating at the end as they were fantastic to me during my time at their club, but the misery of United fans was hard to watch."
