Since losing to Manchester City on 2 November, the Red Devils have suffered just two defeats in 21 league games (W15, D4).
United have claimed 40 points at home - more than any other Premier League side.
They are chasing a sixth consecutive league win.
Wayne Rooney has 170 league goals for United. Only Denis Law (171), Jack Rowley (182) and Sir Bobby Charlton (199) have scored more.
Against Aston Villa, Angel Di Maria became the second player to reach 10 Premier League assists this season (after Cesc Fabregas).
Manchester City
City have lost their last three Premier League away games. A fourth defeat would represent their worst run on the road since a sequence of seven straight losses in 2006.
They have not kept a clean sheet away from home in eight league and cup matches since 13 December.
Sergio Aguero has five goals in six league games against Manchester United.
However, Aguero has only netted three times in his last 12 top-flight appearances - with two of those goals penalties.
