Manchester United take on the visitors Aston Villa in the round 38 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, May 25th at Old Trafford, Manchester.
Manchester United have bet on a familiar trick. The Red Devils have experienced many disappointments since Sir Alex Ferguson retired. In fact, they've never truly returned to the top without him. Even José Mourinho, who once carried massive expectations, failed to win the Premier League — but he did manage to compensate with a Europa League triumph. It’s becoming increasingly clear that his compatriot, Rúben Amorim, who took over mid-season, has focused on replicating that same path. They nearly crashed out against Lyon, but then cruised past Athletic Club in the semifinals with back-to-back thrashings. However, back in Bilbao for the final against fellow fallen giant Tottenham, they couldn’t respond to an awkward early goal. A moment of chaos saw van de Ven and Vicario scramble the ball off the line in dramatic fashion. A 0-1 loss summed up a dreadful year. Now comes the final formality — ending a historically poor Premier League campaign, which included a 0-1 loss to Chelsea last round.

Aston Villa only recently returned from the Championship. But they’ve had no shortage of ambition — the difference is, they finally started realizing it under Unai Emery. The Spaniard took charge mid-season and quickly delivered, guiding Villa to the Europa Conference League by finishing seventh. Then, from the summer qualifiers all the way to the spring knockout rounds, he had them juggling Europe and a push for a top-four spot. This year, their Champions League run was impressive — only ended in the quarterfinals by future finalists PSG. Around the same time, though, they suffered a shocking 0-3 defeat to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup semifinal. Still, their focus returned to the league, where the priority was to finish in the top five. They ground out vital 1-0 wins over Fulham and Bournemouth, and last week handled Europa League finalist Tottenham with confidence.
Manchester United had won four in a row before playing out a goalless draw at Villa Park in October. It’s hard to believe United will suddenly wake up for this one. Expect a professional away win for Emery’s focused and in-form side.
Prediction for the match: Aston Villa to win.
