Man Utd defeated Aston Villa on the final day of the Premier League season.
Manchester United have confirmed they will release three players after they finished the Premier League season with a 2-0 win over Aston Villa at Old Trafford. Amad Diallo and Christian Eriksen scored in the second-half of the match after Emi Martinez had been sent off for the away side and Morgan Rogers saw a goal controversially disallowed.
Speaking after the win, Ruben Amorim labelled his debut campaign a 'disaster season' but promised supporters the good times would return soon. It is set to be a summer of seismic change at Old Trafford after they finished 15th in the Premier League and lost the Europa League final to Tottenham Hotspur.
