In their bid to secure a place in the top four, Manchester United will host Aston Villa at Old Trafford this afternoon. The Red Devils are currently sitting in fourth place in the Premier League, with a six-point lead over Unai Emery’s team. The race for a spot in the Champions League is heating up, and Manchester United will be looking to strengthen their position with a win today.
