Sun May 25 14:10:00 UTC 2025: **Manchester United Faces Aston Villa With Injury Concerns After Europa League Final Loss**

**Manchester, UK -** Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim addressed the media Saturday, following a disappointing Europa League final defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, ahead of their final Premier League match against Aston Villa on Sunday. While not directly asked about team news, Amorim indicated that several players are carrying knocks and will need careful management.

The most pressing concern is defender Leny Yoro, who is struggling with a foot injury. “There are some situations, like Leny. We have to be careful. We had that in the last [home] game before the final… on his foot,” Amorim told MUTV. He emphasized the need to prioritize the players’ long-term fitness, saying, “We’re going to take care of some situations so as not to compromise next season.”

Lisandro Martinez remains sidelined, though he traveled with the team to Bilbao in support. Matthijs de Ligt, who missed the Spurs game, has been seen doing individual training, but his availability remains uncertain given Amorim’s reluctance to risk further injuries.

There is good news, with Diogo Dalot and Joshua Zirkzee having returned from injury in the midweek match. Jonny Evans was also deemed fit enough to be included in the squad. Midfielder Youri Tielemans is being given “every chance” to prove his fitness and is expected to travel with the squad.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa manager Unai Emery will have Jacob Ramsey back from suspension. The only likely absentee for Villa is Marcus Rashford, who is on loan from United and ineligible to play, and has been out injured anyway. Emery expects United to approach the game with full integrity.

The match kicks off at Old Trafford at 16:00 BST on Sunday. United will be looking to end their season on a positive note, despite the shadow cast by their recent European defeat and lingering injury concerns.
