MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - A goal from Bruno Fernandes secured Manchester United a 1-0 victory over Aston Villa on Sunday, increasing their chances of finishing in the top four in the Premier League and continuing their dominant form at Old Trafford.
Erik ten Hag's side are fourth in the standings with 63 points from 32 matches and have a game in hand on fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur who are on 54 points.
Martinez dived to push away Marcus Rashford's shot after the United striker's well-timed run, and Fernandes sprinted in for a one-touch finish from a tight angle for the 100th league goal of his career. He celebrated in front of the visiting Aston Villa section. The victory comes three days after Ten Hag chastised his players for not giving 100% in a 2-2 draw at Spurs.
