Manchester United take on the visitors Aston Villa in the round 30 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, March 15th at Old Trafford (Manchester).
Manchester United waited quite a long time for progress under Ruben Amorim. Understanding that he had also arrived from the ship straight to the ball in the middle of last season, the club forgave him both the record-low Premier League finish and the defeat in the Europa League final. They even overlooked the League Cup loss after the summer break to fourth-tier side Grimsby. Recently Manchester United have looked much more energetic, picking up several important wins and improving their position in the table. At the same time, the team is still searching for stability, as occasional setbacks show that the rebuilding process is far from complete. In January the Portuguese coach was shown the door — and immediately after that the club was also eliminated from the FA Cup. The management decided to search for a permanent manager in the summer, temporarily solving the issue by bringing Michael Carrick back into the project until the end of the season. He started with four wins, including victories over Manchester City and Arsenal. True, against West Ham they escaped defeat only thanks to a late goal, finishing 1–1. After that there were two more wins, and only in the previous round did they lose to Newcastle. Now they must prove that the 1–2 defeat was not the end of the new manager’s honeymoon.

Aston Villa are forced to distribute their energy. The Villans unsuccessfully tried to do the same last season, although back then they were competing in the Champions League. That campaign went quite well — in the spring the English side were eliminated from the playoffs only by Paris Saint-Germain. Recently Aston Villa have struggled to maintain consistency, as the demanding schedule has begun to affect their league performances. Their results in the Premier League have also become less convincing compared to the earlier part of the season. However, on the domestic stage the Birmingham club lost 5th place to Newcastle, despite finishing level on points. Perhaps that also had an impact later, as the start of the new campaign turned out to be disappointing. Gradually, though, they managed to find their rhythm and climb into the Premier League top three. In 2026, however, slip-ups have started to occur more frequently — including a cup defeat to Newcastle. Now the Europa League is also part of the schedule, where the English side confidently reached the playoffs. There they had a difficult trip to Lille on Thursday. Despite that, the Premier League remains the priority. And things there have not been great — they even lost to Wolverhampton, while against Chelsea the result was a heavy 1–4 defeat.
The Red Devils have five victories and one draw in recent meetings. However, in December they lost 1–2 in Birmingham. Manchester United will face an opponent currently at the peak of a downturn. We expect the hosts to secure the victory in this match.
Prediction for the match: Manchester United to win.
