‎Manchester United have gained a precious win over Aston Villa in the battle for Champions League qualification.
‎Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko struck in the final 20 minutes to give the reds victory on Sunday, with United skipper Bruno Fernandes playing a pivotal role.
‎After Villa keeper Emi Martinez had turned away a goal-bound Bryan Mbeumo effort, Fernandes whipped in a textbook near-post corner, which Casemiro flicked over Martinez and into the net off the far upright.
‎On his first Premier League start in 14 months, Ross Barkley levelled for the visitors with a snap shot 11 minutes later.
‎However, United were not to be denied as Fernandes supplied a superb through ball to send Cunha racing clear of the Villa defence, and the Brazil forward found the far corner with a precise low strike.
‎Substitute Sesko then took his personal tally to eight goals in 10 games as his deflected effort on the turn looped past Martinez to inflict Villa’s third straight league defeat.
‎The result keeps Michael Carrick’s side in third and provides the United interim boss with a sixth successive home win.
