Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard was delighted with Leon Bailey's performance for their 2-2 draw with Manchester United in Perth.

The winger's all-action display was capped off in injury time when he provided the corner that was headed home by Calum Chambers to equalise.

On Bailey's contribution, Gerrard said: “It was more than an impact. He changed the game, he showed energy, he showed speed, a hunger to cause problems and he's come back in pre-season a different player.

“Not just from a technical point of view – his demeanour, his body language. I think he's trusting his body more, so we need to keep him healthy.

“So far, for Leon, he's sending me a massive signal that he wants to be in the 11, so he needs a strong two weeks."
