Match Review: Manchester United 3-1 Aston Villa

Bruno’s Vision and Šeško’s Impact Drive United Past Villa in Top-Four Showdown

Ten days after the chastening defeat at Newcastle — where United failed to beat ten men and watched William Osula score a 90th-minute winner — Manchester United needed a response. Against Aston Villa, the team directly above them in the race for Champions League football, they produced one. A 3-1 victory built on Bruno Fernandes’s creative brilliance, Casemiro’s aerial power, and the continued super-sub heroics of Benjamin Šeško.
