Overview of the match for Manchester United against Aston Villa
The curtain comes from a miserable season for Manchester United, which welcomes Aston Villa in Old Trafford on Sunday without the pride to play, just days after their final defeat of the Europa League against Tottenham.
Villa, meanwhile, head for the last day with hopes of the Champions League still alive, although with their destiny with their own hands.
They are seated in sixth row – at the level of the points with Chelsea and Newcastle – and know that nothing less than a victory could see them fail.
The UAI Emery team beat Tottenham 2-0 the last time and won nine of their last 11 Premier League games, including three consecutive cleanliness sheets.
On the other hand, Ruben Amorim’s United has won none of their last eight games in the League and has undergone its worst high -flying campaign in more than 50 years, sitting 16th with a club record 18 defeats.
The hosts were poor at home all season, losing nine times in Old Trafford, and their team disjointed and touched by the injury may have trouble matching the intensity and goal of Villa.
However, the clean record of the last day of the villa is historically poor, winning only once in its last 26 games of this type, which could offer United a glow of hope to end their nightmarish campaign on a slightly less sour note.

Team news for Manchester United against Aston Villa
Lisandro Martinez remains away with a knee injury, and Matthijs de Ligt is doubtful after missing the last four games. The tastes of Leny Yoro, Diogo Dalot and Joshua Zirkzee were in the Europa League final and could again be involved.
Ruben Amorim can opt for certain changes, with Alejandro Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte among those who grow for departures.
Marcus Rashford is excluded due to a problem with hamstrings and is also unacceptable to play against his parent club. Youri Tielemans remains a major doubt with a calf problem, but Jacob Ramsey returns by suspension and could replace John McGinn or Marco Asensio in the midfield.
Matty Cash and Ezri Konsa should keep their places in defense, while Emiliano Martinez, strongly linked to a summer move in Saudi Arabia, should start what could be his last match for the club.
