We must admit that Manchester United managed to reverse the negative trends and played again as a top club should. On the one hand a bit sorry for Aston Villa, because for the first time in many years they have a chance to compete for first place in the EPL, but on the other hand we must admit that Manchester United looked more interesting and created more chances, which they were able to realize. Aston Villa could have clung to a draw, but Watkins' shot from a couple of meters was deflected by Onana. In general, a legitimate victory for Manchester United, which continues to gradually come out of the crisis.
Right, this is the 2nd match between Manchester United v Aston Villa and Manchester United won 2 matches with one goal difference so actually their victory today is not too surprising and we consider Manchester United to understand how Aston Villa played. Overall Manchester United are in a positive trend with 3 wins 1 draw and 1 defeat well now we will see how they maintain it if Manchester United can maintain it then maybe they can replace Aston Villa in the 5th position at the same time playing in the European League next season.
Indeed, Manchester United's performance has appeared to have improved quite rapidly in the last few matches so this victory is quite natural for them to get and also on the other hand, Aston Villa's performance is decreasing at the moment so Manchester United can take advantage of this to be able to win.
This is quite an important victory for Manchester United to continue to improve their position in the Premier League standings, even if Manchester United can continue to be consistent, I think it is not impossible that they can enter the top 4 positions.
