๐ถ Talking points
๐น Bruno Fernandes is single-handedly getting Champions League football. In a game where United created very little, Fernandes broke open the Villa defence for both goals for his 15th and 16th assists of the season in the league.
๐น Benjamin Sesko is back in his super sub role.
Dropped from the starting line-up against Villa, Sesko emerged from the bench, and he once again made an impact with a goal.
๐น Replacing Casemiro will be the task of the summer for United. His performance was just a reminder that finding a replacement for the Brazilian will be a monumental task, with his impact in terms of goals and leadership impossible to recreate. His status as a cult hero should be secured.
๐น Manchester United took a huge step towards Champions League football. With this win, United have a gap to all three other Champions League hopefuls. Six on Chelsea, three on Villa, and five on Liverpool.
Itโs far from finished, but it is a huge step.
