Having defeated Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon, Manchester United moved one step closer to securing their spot in the Champions League for next season. It would take a major collapse for the Reds to finish outside of the top four at this point, but Erik ten Hag will be urging his players to remain focused.
Bruno Fernandes did well to squeeze his strike past Emiliano Martinez in the Villa goal to give United a much-needed win, and while there was a lack of real quality in the game, the home side simply got the job done. The Reds still find themselves behind Newcastle in the Premier League table, however, Ten Hag's men have a game in hand on the Magpies.
It was certainly not United's most convincing win at Old Trafford this season, but the Reds found a way to record their 12th home victory over the campaign. Given that Ten Hag's side were beaten at home by Brighton on the opening day of the season, their overall record at the Theatre of Dreams since then is something to shout about.
