Welcome to live coverage of Manchester United v Aston Villa from Old Trafford!

Don't forget you can watch highlights of this match at 00:01 (UK only).

There's the final whistle, and United ease to victory - they maintain their five-point lead atop the Premier League!

Both sides are seemingly content to play out time as the fans vacate their seats en masse.

It's just not happening for Berbatov! Evra finds him with a clipped cross, but the Bulgarian makes a right mess of his attempted overhead kick.

There will be three minutes of stoppage time to play.

ROONEY!!! Denied magnificently by Friedel!! He hits a first-time half-volley from 25 yards and the keeper leaps to his left to push it away!

Young gets two chances to cross but both times it is headed away... Villa running out of time.

Agbonlahor crosses low from the right, Ferdinand clears and slices it out for a corner - Young to take...

Rooney tries to complete his hat-trick but snatches at a shot from the edge of the box and wallops it high over the top!

Agbonlahor heads it into the back of O'Shea's arm and wants a penalty... O'Shea wasn't even looking so it's unlikely it was deliberate.

SHOULD HAVE BEEN FOUR!! Berbatov's blocked shot ricochets to Nani, whose diagonal shot is magnificently saved by Friedel - but the rebound falls to Berbatov who somehow skies it!

Van der Sar comes right to the edge of the box and NEARLY handles outside the area. Just inside...

Nani tricks his way past Collins as he cuts inside from the left, but he cannot decide whether to pass or shoot and hits the ball straight into Friedel.

You know I said it was a rare piece of bad control by Giggs earlier? Well, he's done it again.

Villa change: Nigel Reo-Coker comes on for Stewart Downing.

Agbonlahor looks to put Van de Sar under pressure as he comes out to collect a long ball forwards... but the keeper calmly lets the ball roll through his legs and out for a goal kick.

NANI!! Cuts inside onto his left foot and has another shot - high and wide. He's certainly not afraid to have a go, is he?

Young crosses from the left and Bent rises to meet it. Evra does enough to put him off and Bent heads over.

Rooney is released through the middle by O'Shea and this is a great chance for a hat-trick... his touch is not great and Dunne slides in with a brilliant challenge! Should really have been Rooney's third.

Aston Villa: Gabriel Agbonlahor replaces the clearly peeved Stiliyan Petrov, who gets a talking-to from Gerard Houllier following his show of dissent - shaking his head all the way off.
