Nicky Butt is Manchester United’s major injury concern for their must-win Premiership trip to Aston Villa.

The England international suffered an ankle knock in the latter stages of Wednesday’s 1-1 draw with Basle and manager Sir Alex Ferguson will be desperately hoping Butt makes it as Roy Keane (hamstring) and Juan Sebastian Veron (knee) have already been ruled out.
