Premier League: United all but sealed a Top 4 finish with a 3-1 win away at Aston Villa on Sunday. United started brightly but fell behind thanks to some poor defending on 24mins. Fernandes drew United level on 52mins from the spot, after Pogba was fouled. Four minutes later Geenwood fired United into the lead and Cavani made the points safe with a great run and header on 87 minutes. On the down side, Maguire went off injured with an ankle injury, fingers crossed it isn't to serious.

Leicester at home on Tuesday is next, expect changes.

Roma scored two quick goals on 57 & 60 mins before Cavani headed home Fernandes' cross on 68 mins. A Telles og on 83mins gave Roma the lead but United held on and won 8-5 on aggregrate.

It was a game with plenty of chances, Cavani lifted a chance onto the bar, Greenwood fired wide but Roma did have alot of chances throughout the game with David de Gea the man of the match.
