Manchester United put Aston Villa to the sword 3-1 at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon. Michael Carrick has now orchestrated seven wins from nine games this season with Champions League<\/a> qualification looking all the more likely.<\/p>\n

Carrick’s men were defeated 2-1 away at Newcastle United<\/a> in their previous outing and enjoyed a prolonged break between matches thanks to their lack of FA Cup<\/a> participation. They hosted Unai <\/a>Emery’s<\/a> side at the weekend and after a goalless first half prevailed 3-1 thanks to strikes from Casemiro, Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko.<\/p>\n

A trip to the in-form Bournemouth<\/a> is next up on their agenda but away from the club, a former player made their long-awaited return<\/a>. Scott McTominay, who has thrived in Italy with Napoli<\/a> after leaving United in August 2024, came back from injury<\/a> on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

The Scottish star was introduced at half-time against Lecce, with Antonio Conte’s side trailing 1-0, and he made quite an impact. Mirror Football brings you the latest updates from Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Scott McTominay impresses on return<\/p>\n

McTominay had been sidelined since February with tendon inflammation and missed roughly a month with Napoli’s medical staff taking a cautious approach. But with his side trailing by a goal, Conte decided to reintroduce the 29-year-old at half-time and his decision paid off.<\/p>\n

The midfielder immediately stabilised things in the middle of the park and mere minutes after coming on, Napoli levelled through United loanee Rasmus Hojlund.<\/p>\n

Then, in the 68th minute, their comeback was sealed via Matteo Politano. McTominay finished the 2-1 victory with a 90 per cent pass completion rate and reminded United what an influential player they let depart for just \u00a326million.<\/p>\n

Conte said after the match: “We were losing and I had to make changes. They’re strong players but you have to give them time to get used to the pace and intensity again, and that’s not easy.<\/p>\n

“They need to have confidence, though, because the greater good is Napoli, and since I’m dealing with well-prepared and decent players, there are no problems.<\/p>\n

“McTominay had been out for a month. I had to take on some responsibilities, and so did they. The common good, I repeat, is Napoli and we must secure qualification for the Champions League, which is too important. It is important for the top clubs, let alone for us.”<\/p>\n

Man Utd learn Real Madrid star’s price<\/p>\n

While McTominay continues to shine at Napoli, another well-regarded midfielder in Europe could seek an exit. Reports suggest Real Madrid<\/a> star Eduardo Camavinga is a player the club are willing to listen to offers for.<\/p>\n

According to Marca<\/a>, Los Blancos have slapped a \u00a343m price tag on Camavinga. The Frenchman has been at the Bernabeu since 2021 after signing from Rennes.<\/p>\n

But he has struggled for game time of late and it has been suggested that he may soon end up on the chopping block. Several Premier League<\/a> clubs have allegedly shown an interest and United were originally linked with Camavinga<\/a> before he headed to Spain nearly five years ago.<\/p>\n
