Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood says he is focused only on his side’s trip to Old Trafford in what
he has called a “massive week” for
the club.

Sherwood had overseen a run of
three consecutive wins in all
competitions before a defeat by
Swansea City last time out that
left the team three points above
the relegation zone and the recently appointed Villa manager is primed for a pivotal week, when his club hosts second-bottom QPR on Tuesday.

"It is a massive week," he told a
pre-match news conference. "We
hope we can get a few bodies back
on the pitch to give us a bit more
impetus.

"Man United is the only game I'm
focusing on. We need to get something out of that game. It's a wonderful place to go and play.

There are a few in our dressing
room who have gone there and won and the boys are confident we can
do it again.

" Sherwood could welcome back
captain Ron Vlaar from a calf
problem at Old Trafford, while
fellow defender Jores Okore is set
to return following a knee injury -
both welcome boosts in the battle against the drop.

"It was obviously going to be a
difficult task," Sherwood said.

"Nobody said it was going to be
easy. There will be lots of ups and
downs along the way but I'm
confident we can do it.

"It's a great club, I feel very
pleased to have got the opportunity to manage this great club. It is a dream job for me if we stay in the league, it gives me a pre-season to build my own squad. I couldn't have hand picked a
better job, but we need to get over
the line.

" For Manchester United a win
would boost their hopes of
finishing in the top four, which
goalkeeper David de Gea insists is
paramount.

United missed out on a
place in any European competition last season but a 2-1 victory over
Liverpool last time out boosted
their hopes of a top-four finish.

Chris Smalling is expected to be
passed fit for United despite being
substituted playing for England
during midweek.

Louis van Gaal will assess Robin van Persie (ankle) and Luke Shaw (hamstring), while Jonny Evans
remains suspended.
