Manchester United continued their rise up the table after Scott McTominay’s late header powered the Red Devils to a 2-1 win against Unai Emery’s men.
Top-four dream back on for Manchester United
Just as in the thrilling Boxing Day reverse fixture, where United staged a comeback from two goals down, Villa started strong.
However, the Red Devils relentless press created early set-piece opportunities, and Ten Hag's men opened the scoring as Maguire's header set up Højlund for his 5th goal in his last 5 games.
Villa tried to respond, with Onana denying McGinn and Watkins. Ramsey's runs threatened, but United defended well.
The hosts struggled to score, but Douglas Luiz reacted fastest in the box to equalize and set up a thrilling finale.
The match became end-to-end, and McTominay's late header secured United's victory, reigniting their top-four push.
