Premier League Soccer: Stream Man United vs. Aston Villa Live From Anywhere
Manchester United will look to put their midweek Europa League final heartbreak behind them as they host top-five hopefuls Aston Villa in this end-of-season clash at Old Trafford. Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game as it happens, wherever you are in the world, and how to use a VPN if the match isn't available where you are. The Red Devils are enduring their worst-ever Premier League campaign and could finish as low as 17th depending on today's results. Morale is likely at rock bottom among Ruben Amorim's squad after Wednesday's narrow defeat against Spurs in Bilbao — a loss that looks set to significantly affect the funds available for a much-needed summer rebuild. They face an Aston Villa team eager to capitalize on United's current turmoil. Unai Emery's men are chasing a vital win to keep their Champions League hopes alive. The visitors arrive in sixth place, level on points with fellow top-five contenders Chelsea and Newcastle, but burdened with a significantly inferior goal difference, making a positive result at Old Trafford even more crucial. Manchester United takes on Aston Villa on Sunday, May 25, at Old Trafford, with kickoff set for 4 p.m. BST. That makes it an 11 a.m. ET or 8 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada, and a 1 a.m. AEST kickoff in Australia on Monday.

How to watch the Premier League 2024-25 season from anywhere with a VPN If you're traveling abroad and want to keep up with all the Premier League action while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming. It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds, and can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security. However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN usage to access region-specific content. If you're considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform's terms of service to ensure compliance. If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider's installation instructions, ensuring you're connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN usage is crucial.

Player of the season - what fans are saying so far
We asked you to pick your player of the season after our Aston Villa fan contributor narrowed it down to Youri Tielemans, Morgan Rogers, John McGinn and Lucas are some of your comments on your selection, as well as some other names thrown into the ring:Prit: We've had a lot of good performances from different players at different stages of the season and the article plays tribute to that. But my choice would have to go to Boubacar Kamara. When we struggled, he was the glue that held Villa together, for example, playing across the midfield and even in defence. Now that we have got our players back, he is our driving force a la David Platt . The cherry on the cake is that now he is taking shots on goal and scoring! But it's been a very tough decision this season, which is exactly how we want Tielemans. This was the season he showed Villa fans what a class player he really is. A killer passer and a dominant midfield presence alongside McGinn, he has proved the difference in a lot of games and he's played in over 50 of them this Tielemans has been our most consistent player over the season and our most creative player. But the player who makes us tick and is generally man of the match in our best performances is Kamara. If only we could keep him fit for a whole season, we would be two to three places higher in the It's been hard to single out one standout player because we've got quality everywhere you look. But I've gone with Rogers as my player of the season for his physicality, ability to win one on ones and his consistent attacking Youri has changed every Villa fan's opinion this season, going from a player we hoped would be successful to an irreplaceable part of the clockwork alongside Bouba Kamara, making our engine tick. His ability to see and then pick out his target has created some of the most memorable moments of a memorable season. He plays with a smile and has become undroppable. Thanks and big love, Youri!Roger: You missed Ezri Konsa. He'd be my pick, so as he's not included, I'm Tielemans is my player of the season, not just for his consistent performances and contributions in this campaign, but also because of how far he's come since joining the club and not being able to get a start for such a long time. He's stuck at his job, proved he deserves to be in the starting XI - and forced Unai Emery to build the midfield around him. He is probably the only certainty on the teamsheet other than Emi forget to make your selection here

Saturday's briefing: Aston Villa and Chelsea boost Champions League hopes
Villa's 2-0 victory extended fourth-bottom Tottenham's winless top-flight run to six matches, while United have failed to win any of their last eight after a 1-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge. Pep Guardiola said victory in Saturday's FA Cup final against Crystal Palace is 'massively important' as Manchester City bid to salvage something from a disappointing season. Villa close on Champions League return Aston Villa's Boubacar Kamara, centre, celebrates scoring his side's second goal in their 2-0 home win against Tottenham (Nigel French/PA) Aston Villa moved closer to a Champions League return after a 2-0 victory over Tottenham, who had one eye on Wednesday's Europa League final. Villa's memorable run to the quarter-finals of this season's competition gave them the taste for more and they boosted their hopes with an eighth win from their last nine Premier League games. This was probably the biggest home banker of the campaign given where Spurs' focus lay, but Villa made hard work of it, needing second-half goals from Ezri Konsa and Boubacar Kamara to get the job done. That means, if other results go their way this weekend, a win in their final game of the season at Manchester United would be enough to guarantee Villa a return to the promised land. Cucurella keeps Chelsea on track Marc Cucurella, centre, scored Chelsea's second-half winner against Manchester United (Bradley Collyer/PA) Marc Cucurella was once again Chelsea's hero as his headed goal earned a potentially season-defining 1-0 win over Manchester United just as his side's Champions League hopes looked to be slipping away. With 20 minutes remaining at Stamford Bridge the Blues were set to head into the final day of the Premier League season with their top-five fate out of their hands, with more poor finishing seemingly condemning them to two crucial points dropped and a third straight season out of Europe's top competition. News that Aston Villa had won in the earlier kick-off only added to the tension before the ebullient, untameable Cucurella slipped his man to head Reece James' cross past Andre Onana in the 71st minute. A win away to Nottingham Forest next Sunday will confirm a top-five finish. Cup win 'massively important' for Pep Tomorrow we play in our third consecutive #FACup final 🙌 Tune into our Matchday Live show from 15:25 📺 — Manchester City (@ManCity) May 16, 2025 Guardiola feels it is 'massively important' for Manchester City to win the FA Cup. City have had to readjust their targets this season after failing to defend their Premier League title and exiting the Champions League prematurely. Guardiola's side are hoping to salvage something from a disappointing campaign by beating Crystal Palace in Saturday's final at Wembley and securing a top-five spot next week. City manager Guardiola said: 'That is now the problem, right? The FA Cup now is not the first choice. 'Of course, we want it. Once we are there, we want to lift the trophy. Of course it's really massively important.' Palace eye first major trophy The FA Cup Final. For South London. ❤️💙 — Palace for Life (@PalaceForLife) May 16, 2025 Oliver Glasner concedes an FA Cup win might hold more weight for Crystal Palace than it could for final opponents City. When the sides meet at Wembley, Guardiola will be leading out City in search of the 19th trophy of his prolific nine-year tenure in Manchester alone. Glasner's side will be playing for the first major silverware in their entire history. Glasner said: 'If something is the first time in your life, then maybe it means more to you than when you have it every single year. Under Pep, how many trophies they have won, how many finals they have played, it's definitely more than Crystal Palace have. 'Still, for the players, for a manager, for a club, winning a trophy is always something great in a season. So I don't expect that they will wave the white flag and then say, 'OK, it's a first title for Crystal Palace, you should get it'.' Awoniyi: 'Positive' update Taiwo Awoniyi, left, sustained serious injury when colliding with a post in last week's home draw against Leicester (Jacob King/PA) Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo says Taiwo Awoniyi's outlook is 'positive' after he was in an induced coma following emergency surgery on an abdominal injury. Awoniyi had two operations to repair serious internal damage after he collided with a post during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Leicester and was kept unconscious in order to aid his recovery. The 27-year-old is now awake and talking with his family, but is set to remain in hospital for the coming days. 'He went to surgery, surgery went well, thank God,' Nuno explained. 'He is under observation now, but he is recovering. We still have to wait for the doctors to allow visits. We are concerned but it is positive.' What's on today? Last year's beaten finalists Manchester City are bidding to win the FA Cup for a third time under Pep Guardiola (Nick Potts/PA) Manchester City will bid to win their 19th major trophy under Pep Guardiola on Saturday when they face Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final at Wembley. Celtic will be presented with the Scottish Premiership trophy after their final league match against St Mirren at Parkhead, while Rangers play at Hibernian and Dundee United play at home against Aberdeen, all in lunch-time kick-offs. AFC Wimbledon face Notts County in the second leg of their League Two play-off semi-final. Airdrieonians take on Cove Rangers in the second leg of the Scottish Championship play-off final and East Kilbride play at Bonnyrigg Rose in the second leg of the Scottish League Two play-off final.
