Manchester United XI vs Aston Villa: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Premier League today | OneFootball

Ruben Amorim could ring the changes on last day after dismal Europa League final defeat

Manchester United are almost entirely clear of injury woes as they prepare to host Aston Villa on the final day of a wretched Premier League season this afternoon.

Should the Red Devils lose against Villa, not only will they have failed to accumulate 40 points, they will also be at risk of finishing 17th - one place above the Premier League relegation zone - to put an exclamation point on the worst campaign in the club’s history.

Of course, United go into the game on the back of losing the Europa League final to Spurs in Bilbao on Wednesday night.

As a result, Amorim’s side missed out on a trophy as well as Champions League qualification and will not be playing European football of any description next season.

The one positive for United from this week’s events has been a triple injury boost. Joshua Zirkzee, Diogo Dalot and Leny Yoro all featured in midweek and should be in contention to face Villa.

With Matthijs de Ligt a doubt after missing the last four matches, it means Lisandro Martinez is United’s only long-term absentee.

Ruben Amorim could opt for heavy rotation with the likes of Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho, Altay Bayindir, Victor Lindelof, Harry Amass and Manuel Ugarte all pushing to start having been named on the bench in Bilbao, though it sounds as if Garnacho and Lindelof will both be leaving in the summer.

There is a decision to make in attack as Rasmus Hojlund has struggled of late but with Zirkzee perhaps not ready to start following his injury lay-off, it could open the door for youngster Chido Obi to lead the line.

Predicted Manchester United XI: Bayindir; Lindelof, Maguire, Yoro; Amad, Fernandes, Ugarte, Amass; Mainoo, Garnacho; Obi

Injured: Martinez

Doubt: De Ligt
