A Morgan Rogers brace at home to United keeps Unai Emery’s men in contention with the top two. Villa are one points behind City and two behind Arsenal.

Amid all the talk about Bruno Fernandes' injury and how Manchester United will cope without him, it was slightly lost that Ruben Amorim's team played well at Villa Park but lost because they can't stop conceding goals.

Manchester United fell to a 2-1 defeat at Villa Park on Sunday as high-flying Aston Villa secured a 10th consecutive win in all competitions thanks to a brilliant brace from Morgan Rogers.

The 23-year-old scored a pair of stunning strikes to pace his side to victory, and both were the result of Rogers cutting in from the left and curling the ball past Man United goalkeeper Senne Lammens and into the top right corner of the net.

Manchester United have moved into the Premier League's top six with a comprehensive 4-1 win over bottom club Wolverhampton.

The first example of ponderous passing from Amorim’s side was ruthlessly pounced upon. Semenyo speared through the cloud of confusion between Mount and Luke Shaw, driving into the box before picking out the bottom corner with a wonderfully crisp finish.
