Man United vs Aston Villa: Lineups, team news, confirmed starting teams as Villans target Champions League

The curtain comes down on a miserable season for Manchester United, who welcome Aston Villa to Old Trafford on Sunday with nothing but pride to play for, just days after their Europa League final loss to Tottenham.

Villa, meanwhile, head into the final day with Champions League hopes still alive, albeit with their destiny out of their own hands.

They sit sixth – level on points with Chelsea and Newcastle – and know that anything less than a win could see them fall short.

Man United lineup vs Aston Villa

Lisandro Martinez remains sidelined with a knee injury, and Matthijs de Ligt has missed United’s the last four matches. The likes of Leny Yoro, Diogo Dalot, and Joshua Zirkzee featured in the Europa League final but are not starters.

Ruben Amorim makes three changes, including the selection of goalkeeper Altay Bayindir.

Amorim’s United have failed to win any of their last eight league fixtures and are enduring their worst top-flight campaign in over 50 years, sitting 16th with a club-record 18 defeats.

The hosts have been poor at home all season, losing nine times at Old Trafford, and their disjointed, injury-hit squad may struggle to match Villa’s intensity and purpose.

Manchester United starting XI: Bayindir, Lindelof, Mazraoui, Maguire, Mount, Fernandes, Hojlund, Dorgu, Amad, Casemiro, Heaven

Marcus Rashford is ruled out due to a hamstring issue and is also ineligible to play against his parent club. Youri Tielemans remains a major doubt with a calf problem, but Jacob Ramsey returns from suspension and could replace John McGinn or Marco Asensio in midfield.

Matty Cash and Ezri Konsa are expected to retain their spots in defence, while Emiliano Martinez, heavily linked with a summer move to Saudi Arabia, is set to start what could be his final match for the club.

Villa starting XI: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Pau, Maatsen, McGinn, Kamara, Onana, Asensio, Rogers, Watkins
