The defeat to Newcastle in the last round did not deter Manchester United, who today defeated Aston Villa (3:1) at Old Trafford and moved into third place in the Premier League table.

The "Red Devils" are playing as if they have been reborn since the arrival of Michael Carrick, and the impression is that nothing can stop them on their way to Europe, namely the Champions League, which at the beginning of the season and even a little later seemed like an impossible mission.

All four goals in today's match came in the second 45 minutes.

United took the lead early in the second half, when Casemiro headed home a corner from Bruno Fernandes.

The visitors from Birmingham equalized about ten minutes later through Ross Barkley.

However, Mateusz Cunha restored the lead for the home team in the 71st minute, after another assist from Fernandes. The Portuguese registered his 16th assist in the Premier League and thus became the Devils' best passer in a single season, leaving behind the legendary David Beckham (15).

Ten minutes later, Benjamin Šeško put an end to the match, just six minutes after entering the field.

United are third with 54 points, three more than their current rivals and seven less than their city rivals, City.

At the same time, the matches between Crystal Palace and Leeds at Selhurst Park (Calvert-Lewin missed a penalty at the end of the first half) and Nottingham Forest and Fulham at the City Ground ended goalless.
