Amorim\u2019s squad headed to Bilbao, accompanied by thousands of Reds, hoping to bring home a European trophy. After a tight and tense game at San Mames, Tottenham Hotspur came out on top.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to that, attention on the important final had dominated minds for some weeks, seemingly impacting our league form. United are without a win in the Premier League since mid-March\u2019s 3-0 triumph at Leicester City. There have been some incredible European nights in that time, including home-and-away victories over Athletic Club and the 5-4 extra-time success over Lyon, but that form hasn\u2019t carried over into the domestic games.<\/p>\n<p>Aston Villa are enjoying a better spell. Unai Emery\u2019s side have been pushed on as part of a multi-team race for the league\u2019s top five spots, which will secure Champions League qualification. Sixth will give them Europa League football next season.<\/p>\n<p>The Villans currently sit sixth on 66 points, the same as both fifth-placed Chelsea and fourth-placed Newcastle United, but behind the on goal difference. Third-placed Manchester City are two points ahead, while Nottingham Forest follow just one point behind in seventh.<\/p>\n<p>Villa tasted Champions League quarter-final disappointment in April, against Paris Saint-Germain, and then Emirates FA Cup semi-final defeat, versus Crystal Palace, later that month. Since then, they\u2019ve won three consecutive league games, all while keeping clean sheets. Fulham and Bournemouth were both beaten 1-0, and Spurs 2-0.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FORM GUIDE No United fan will need reminding this week&#8217;s events.
