Manchester United winger Ashley Young believes that his side's Champions League victory over Shakhtar Donetsk will give the team confidence heading into their meeting with Aston Villa.

The 28-year-old could face his former club this Sunday after starting in the Red Devils' 1-0 win over Shakhtar last night, which has taken them through to the knockout rounds as Group A winners.

Prior to Tuesday's result, United suffered back-to-back defeats at Old Trafford in the Premier League at the hands of Everton and Newcastle United.

"We want to get back to winning [every week] and there's no better place to go than Villa Park on Sunday and hopefully get another three points," Young told MUTV. "If we put on a display like we did against Shakhtar then we should be able to do that."

United are currently ninth in the league table.
