Alejandro Garnacho Manchester United
Having lost to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final, Manchester United will be without European football next season.
They will finish in the bottom half of the Premier League table this term, and their only objective for the final game against Aston Villa is to avoid finishing 17th, which is the lowest rank for the surviving team.

Ruben Amorim’s side will welcome the Villans at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.
As per team news, Diogo Dalot, Joshua Zirkzee, and Leny Yoro returned in midweek after recovering from their injury problems, so they should be available this weekend. But Amorim has said that he won’t risk Yoro in this game.
So, Lisandro Martínez is the only name on the long-term injury list. Jonny Evans was out over the last few weeks but has returned, and this will be his final game for United.
Matthijs de Ligt has been out since picking up an injury against Brentford and is unlikely to be ready for this game.
Expected Man Utd lineup vs Aston Villa
Amorim is likely to make five changes to his starting XI from midweek’s defeat, and Altay Bayindir could be called upon to commence in goal ahead of Andre Onana.
Harry Maguire should be in the CCB position, and on either side of him, Noussair Mazraoui and Tyler Fredricson may start and complete the centre-back trio. In that case, Ayden Heaven could feature off the bench.
Harry Amass is expected to be on the LWB role, and Patrick Dorgu might be on the opposite side. Therefore, Luke Shaw and Dalot would be among the substitutes.
Manuel Ugarte should be paired up with Casemiro in the midfield, while Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho may be the two CAMs. Mason Mount and Amad Diallo are expected to feature off the bench.
Rasmus Hojlund is likely to keep hold of his place in the CF role despite his goal-scoring drought, and Zirkzee might get involved in the second half. Here’s the predicted 3-4-2-1 Man Utd line-up vs Aston Villa:
