Man Utd preview: Woeful United
It has been a miserable season for Manchester United and they come into this one on the back of a continuation of that as they suffered a 1-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur in the final of the UEFA Europa League at San Mames in Bilbao in the Basque Country the other day.
The Red Devils could finish the season as low as 17th, quite astonishingly, with just two victories inside 90 minutes in their last 13 matches across all competitions – both coming against Athletic Club in the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa League earlier this month.
Aston Villa preview: Brilliant Villa
Unai Emery has done a sensational job in charge of Aston Villa and the Villains will qualify for the UEFA Champions League if they win at Old Trafford and one of Chelsea or Newcastle United drop points or if Manchester City lose on the final day of the campaign.
They most recently defeated Tottenham Hotspur by two goals to nil at Villa Park on the penultimate match day of the campaign last week thanks to strikes from Ezri Konsa and Boubacar Kamara. They have now won 15 of their last 18 matches across all competitions.

Man Utd vs Aston Villa prediction
Manchester United have been one of the worst teams in England throughout this season and if not for a bit of luck on their side and the weakness of the bottom three, they could and perhaps should have been involved in the relegation battle properly this season. They now face a slick and organised Aston Villa side that are in good form and have a lot of motivation to go and win, and potentially win comfortably, so a comfortable Villa victory is to be expected at Old Trafford on the final day.
