Ex-Villa captain Agbonlahor convinced of victory at Man Utd

Former Aston Villa captain Gabby Agbonlahor is convinced they can win at Manchester United.

Villa go to United today sitting third on the Premier League table.

"The mighty have fallen at Manchester United. This game is massive and Villa have got nothing to be scared," Agbonlahor told The Sun.

“United are not the team they used to be and you've got sides like Bournemouth going to Old Trafford and winning 3-0, with opposition players nutmegging theirs.

“United's owners, the Glazers, look like they're hiding in Florida and the fans despise them.

“They are playing like strangers and the manager has got problems left, right and centre."

He added: "They're 11 points behind Villa. That shows you, especially with the money United have spent, the difference between both clubs.

"Villa are on the up and United are on a decline.

"Villa are flying. We've got one of the best managers in the league and positive energy from top to bottom. The owners, manager and fanbase are all together."
