Manchester United fullback Aaron Wan-Bissaka expects a huge test tonight against Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish.

The United defender praised Grealish but highlighted the threat posed by his Villa teammates too.

"He is a great player," he told United Review. "He's unpredictable and can go inside or outside with the ball.

"I played against him last season and just have to be ready to take it as it comes.

"It is another challenge I am more than ready to take on.

"But he's not the only player we need to be paying attention to – they have lots of other good players like John McGinn, Ross Barkley, Trezeguet and others. We know it will be a tough game."

Grealish is currently the most fouled player in the division after finishing last campaign top of the pile too.

Wan-Bissaka added: "I know he is always up there with getting the most fouls. We all know he's a tricky player when he's out there on the pitch.

"But it's very good to hear, that I have had no bookings against me this season. I know you cannot just dive into any tackle.

"You've got to make sure you time it right. It is a case of always concentrating and making sure you are timing them right as well."
