Sky Sports Paul Merson believes Manchester United will thrash Aston Villa to put pressure on Manchester City and give their top four hopes a big boost.
United lost to Tottenham in a bizarre fashion last week, conceding three goals in six minutes. The team restore confidence and pride when they knocked out West Ham of the FA Cup at Upton Park with a 2-1 win.
Paul thinks United will follow the FA Cup triumph with another victory.
He wrote on his Sky Sports column:
"Manchester United were outstanding in midweek. They thoroughly deserved their victory at Upton Park.
"In the first 20 minutes against Tottenham last Sunday I thought they played very well and looked very comfortable.
"But in the end they lost 3-0 and if you'd just watched the opening you would have been left scratching your head and wondering how that happened!
"They now have a FA Cup semi-final on the horizon but there will be no resting players from United, who still have a chance of reaching the top four.
"With Aston Villa the visitors they have a real opportunity to close the gap to Manchester City in fourth and I think they will do it in style.
Paul finally predicts a 3-0 United victory.
