Jonny Evans has admitted uncertainty around Erik ten Hag is impacting Manchester United's players. The conversation around Ten Hag's future has grown louder over the last week and there was a feeling he needed to avoid defeat against Aston Villa to ensure his job was safe.

Erik ten Hag’s side had failed to score in three of their last four Premier League matches before facing Aston Villa, and they rarely threatened today. A point halts some of the bleeding, but they remain in the bottom half of the league table with one of their lowest points totals ever after seven matches.

Manchester United’s winless run in all competitions has extended to five games after a 0-0 draw at Aston Villa in the Premier League.
