Manchester United Strengthens Position In Third Place As Tottenham Takes Anfield Point

By IANS News March 16, 2026 • 09:22 AM View: 71

Manchester United: Manchester United strengthened its grip on a top-four finish on Sunday with a 3-1 win at home to Aston Villa.

The win leaves Michael Carrick's side third in the table, ahead of Aston Villa, which has now lost its last three Premier League games.

Casemiro opened the scoring in Old Trafford with a powerful 53rd minute header following Bruno Fernandes' cross, although Ross Barkley drilled home a left-foot shot to make it 1-1 after an assist from Lucas Digne after 65 minutes.
