The last match week of the 2024/25 Premier League is bringing to an end another season of the highest tier of English football and one of the most watched events. All matches of match week 38 will take place in one day.
As part of the last match week, Manchester United and Aston Villa will come together on the field on 25 May at the Old Trafford stadium in Manchester. This will be the clubs’ second meeting this season. They first played on 6 October at Villa Park in Aston, Birmingham. The game ended in a goalless draw.
This season wasn’t a particularly successful one for Man United. They are currently hanging in the 16th position of the league table, just two positions shy of the relegation zone. Their record includes 10 wins, 9 draws, and 18 losses.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, found itself by the end of the season in the top five of the league table. With a fierce competition in terms of points and number of wins among Newcastle United, Chelsea, and Aston Villa, who hold the third, the fourth, and the fifth positions respectively, the Villans have all the chances to move up, depending on the results of the last match week.
Their current record includes 19 wins, 9 draws, and 9 losses, making them eligible for at least the Conference League play-off round, but also qualifying for the Champions League league phase.

Manchester United: Analysis, Team Preview, and Lineup
Manchester United is forever sealed in history as the winner of the Premier League inaugural season in 1992/93. Interestingly, it was Aston Villa who was their closest rival in the season and ended up in the second position of the league table.
Moreover, they hold the record of owning the most titles, 13 in total. In the years when they wouldn’t be crowned champions, Man United would more often than not end up in the top three. Premier League 2024/25 is by far their most unsuccessful season so far.
Attacking midfielder and team captain Bruno Fernandes brought his club 19 goals and 19 assists this season, placing him as the player with the most scores in the team. He is followed by attacking midfielder Alejandro Garnacho who has 11 goals and 10 assists on his record. Another two outstanding players are centre forward Rasmus Højlund and right winger Amad Diallo, both with 10 goals.

Aston Villa: Analysis, Team Preview, and Lineup
After taking the second place in the Premier League inaugural season of 1992/93, Aston Villa had a rather mixed history in the league. Their placements would vary between the first and the second half of the league table, until the results of the 2015/16 season got them relegated to the EFL Championship where they stayed until the 2019/20 season.
After their return, Aston Villa showed mixed results again, from the 17th position as their lowest (2019/20) to fourth as the highest (2023/24). They are still to win their first Premier League title.
Centre forward Ollie Watkins made the biggest input into the club’s position this season, with 17 goals and 14 assists. Other players to look out for are attacking midfielder Morgan Rogers with 14 goals and 15 assists and centre forward Jhon Durán with 12 goals.
