Still feeling the pain of losing in the Europa League final, Manchester United will conclude the 2024-25 campaign with a Premier League clash against top-five hopefuls Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.
The two teams butt heads for the first time since October last year when they played out a goalless stalemate at Villa Park.
United have lost a staggering 18 of their 37 Premier League games this season, with nine of those suffered at Old Trafford which is the joint-most home defeats they have ever recorded in a single league campaign (also nine in 1930-31, 1933-34 and 1962-63). They have also accumulated a record-low 39 points and currently sit 16th in the table - their lowest ever PL finish prior to this season was eighth last year.
United’s Lisandro Martinez remains sidelined with a long-term knee injury, while fellow centre-back Matthijs de Ligt is a doubt after missing the last four matches with a knee issue of his own.
Leny Yoro, Diogo Dalot, Joshua Zirkzee and Jonny Evans all recovered from injury to make the matchday squad for the Europa League final and are in contention to feature again in some capacity on Sunday.
It remains to be seen how much Amorim will rotate his starting lineup, but the likes of Manuel Ugarte, Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho, the latter of whom is believed to be facing an uncertain future at Old Trafford, will all be pushing for a recall.
It’s an afternoon kickoff in the UK, which means 10 AM on the East Coast of the U.S.
The match is on TNT Sports 1 or discovery+ in the UK. Those Stateside can watch on nbc sports streaming or CNBC. In Canada, it’s on FuboTV.
