# Aston Villa: Fans fume over the performance of Tyrone Mings

**Many Aston Villa fans are not happy with the performance of Tyrone Mings as the club lost to Manchester United at Old Trafford.**

The defender, who has made [four](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tyrone-mings/profil/spieler/253677) appearances for England, returned to the starting eleven after completing his suspension following his [sending off](https://www.sofascore.com/crystal-palace-aston-villa/hP) against Crystal Palace.

He was at fault for United’s first goal as he was caught flat-footed, allowing Anthony Martial to score in the first half with a stooping header ([SofaScore](https://www.sofascore.com/aston-villa-manchester-united/KP)). The [27 year-old](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tyrone-mings/profil/spieler/253677) picked up the third-worst rating out of anyone in the Villa starting eleven (6.7). Despite making five clearances, he lost his only ground duel, two out of three aerial duels (losing 75% of his overall duels) and lost possession nine times, ([SofaScore](https://www.sofascore.com/aston-villa-manchester-united/KP)).

Defenders can’t have poor performances against a very in-form Red Devils side, and clearly many of the Villa fan base believe Mings did just that. One supporter even called him a ‘liability’.

Dean Smith will be hoping that the Englishman turns things around as their next [two games](https://www.skysports.com/aston-villa-fixtures) see them play Liverpool in the FA Cup and then Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

### **Here is what Villa fans said about Mings:**

**“I know I’ll get slated for this but when will people start to see Mings can be a liability – clearly believing his own press.”**

**“That’s why I would have left Mings on the bench. For me, he’s always good for a mistake which creates a goal scoring chance for the opposition. [#avfc](https://twitter.com/hashtag/avfc?src=hashtag_click)“**
