Manchester United v Aston Villa Betting Tips [25 May 2025]

Manchester United have had a disappointing season and it is about to end so when they host Aston Villa. These two clash in the Premier League on Sunday with United sitting 16th and Villa in sixth spot we have below, a prediction for this match. 

Manchester United are coming from their disappointing 1-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final. United have had a shambolic domestic campaign and had, clearly, put all their eggs in the Europa League basket.

Before that defeat, they had also lost to West Ham United and Chelsea. The highest they can finish this season is 14th. 

Aston Villa have a mathematical chance of finishing third. Their target at the moment, however, is only to get into the top five. They will have reason to believe it can be done, having won each of their last three matches. 

Their 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur last time out was the eighth in a run of nine matches and in this form, Villa will head to Old Trafford as favorites. Unai Emery’s side will never get a perfect time to put United to the sword. 

Villa have also managed three straight clean sheets in their last three games.

Manchester United were already going through a poor season before Tottenham added to their woes with the defeat in the Europa League final. Here they meet an Aston Villa side that is not only well rested but also in need of a win to fuel their Champions League dream.

United haven't done well in the league, and even at home, they have a history of struggling this season. Villa look likely to end their winless run in this fixture. Our prediction for Manchester United v Aston Villa is for Aston Villa to win.
