- Highlights
22:11
Villa started well but couldn't force it home and United just had too much going forward. United close the gap on third and fourth, while Villa stay second-bottom.
22:11
Full-time: Aston Villa 0-3 Manchester United
90+3'
Pogba sways past Trezeguet, who might've just clipped him, but no one minds too much when no penalty is given.
90+2'
Pogba strides forward and slides a lovely little ball in behind to meet Rashford's run. The ensuing shot is decent too, screwed across Reina, who makes a decent save with an outstretched ankle.
90'
Gary Neville gives Mason Greenwood man of the match and rightly so - he was United's best player in the first half and scored an incredible goal.
90'
There'll be three additional minutes.
89'
McTominay finds Rashford, who slides into the path of the overlapping Shaw; his cross is deflected behind and the corner comes to nothing.
88'
United knock it about and time elapses.
87'
Fred is booked for a challenge on Grealish that looked reasonable enough.
86'
Bit of possession for Villa.
85'
The simple bare necessities.
84'
Villa send on Vassilev for Luiz.
82'
Nakamba brings Villa away and Williams has to move quickly to block Hourihane's shot when the ball goes left; the corner comes to nothing.
82'
Rashford, who's got a lot better at free-kicks recently, gets right underneath this one, punting it over the bar.
81'
James already looks more comfortable coming off the left and he runs past two men, so Nakamba trips him. Free-kick United, 22 yards out, just left of centre...
79'
James goes over to the left and immediately gets on the ball, cutting inside and curling a low shot just past the far post.
78'
More changes for United, James and Igahlo replacing Greenwood and Martial. Martial looks well displeased, which is a good sign - he wants to score goals - and Solskjaer laughs at him when he comes off, but he doesn't want to know.
76'
Hause clears the corner easily enough.
75'
Rashford and Shaw are forming a nice partnership down the left, and between them they exchange passes to win a corner.
73'
The other day, Graeme Souness criticised Jack Grealish for taking too many touches, and Neville echoes that here, saying they're also in the wrong areas. I'd been told he was going to United this summer, but I'd now be surprised if that happened, because they no longer need an attacking midfielder.
