It's been a great season for me, you want to win trophies and we have done that.'<br><br>22.00: The players are still on the pitch celebrating in front of the crowd which is still quite full.

The atmosphere seems strangely subdued inside the ground for the time being though - maybe the home fans have just become used to this sort of thing.<br><br>80min: As Welbeck receives treatment on his foot following a tangle with Ashley Westwood, Villa make a second change to send Ciaran Clark on for Bennett.<br><br>Parading the touchline: Both managers were active in guiding their teams in the second half<br>77min: What a miss!

[http://captiveye-Pointcorp.com/ghdstraighteners.htm Unmarked] and not closed down 25 yards from goal, the substitute arrows a dipping drive towards the top corner that De Gea does well to back-pedal and tip over the crossbar.<br><br>75min: From Sportsmail's Neil Ashton at Old Trafford:<br>Always a bad sign when a team is 3-0 down and their own fans chant "Ole" every time a player gets a touch, which has been rare for Villa.<br><br>What goes up...

SAF needs to send over a nice bottle to Wenger for giving him the 20th title when he sold Van Persie to him. Nice one Arsenal.'<br>JP, Toronto via email<br><br>65min: Speaking of hat-tricks, Giggs is on one for assists as he lays the ball back for Rooney, before he cannons a drive which is blocked by the Villa defenders.<br><br>62min: From InfostradaLive:<br>Van Persie's hat-trick within 33 minutes was the fastest in the PL since Yakubu Aiyegbeni for Portsmouth vs Middlesbrough within 31 minutes (15 May 2004) 5-1.<br><br>Getting shirty: Villa's Joe Bennett pulls on the shirt of United's Rafael<br>59min: United of course are still hoping to break records this season. If they win tonight, they would need just three wins from their final four games to reach a record 30 victories, while they can also beat the points record of 95, with 96 points still a possibility if they win all their games.<br>Both are held by Chelsea from the 2004/05 season.<br><br>56min: It's still Villa seeing more of the ball and even with a 20th title in sight, Ferguson looks furious on the touchline as he barks orders at his side to up their game.<br><br>53min: This is another promising spell for Villa.

From that corner, Nathan Baker nods across goal for Weimann whose header beats De Gea, only for Van Persie to head clear off the line. One-man team...<br><br>49min: It's low pressure stuff now for David De Gea but this isn't his finest moment as he flaps at a Weimann cross before United turn the ball behind for a corner.<br><br>48min: Another fast start from United as they win successive corners, but from the second set-piece a low cross turned is directed behind by Rooney.<br><br>Job half done: Sir Alex Ferguson applauds at Old Trafford<br>Second-half: One change for Villa as Karim El Ahmadi replaces N'Zogbia. Of course the other big winners so far are QPR and Reading who are now unlikely to be relegated tonight as we restart at Old Trafford.<br><br>20.55: The only comfort for Villa now is that with the game won, United may not be that hungry to fire home more goals in the second half.<br>The last thing Villa need confidence wise is another thrashing following the Chelsea hammering and I'm starting to wonder if Lambert will be regretting fielding such an attacking line-up.<br><br>20.50: So United are cruising to a 20th title, Villa are doing themselves no favours in the goal difference stakes and Van Persie now leads the Premier League goal scoring charts with 24 - one ahead of Luis Suarez.<br><br>Calling the shots: Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert looks on from the touchline<br>Half-time: Manchester United 3-0 Aston Villa<br><br>45min: As I type, Ron Vlaar's shot is still travelling out of Old Trafford and into orbit as the defender skies his shot from 35 yards.

If Lambert's team concede one more goal they will have the worst goal difference in the division - it could prove crucial come the end of the season.<br><br>36min: From OptaJoe:<br>11 - The five players to have more PL hat-tricks than RVP are Shearer (11), Fowler (9), Owen (8), Henry (8) & Rooney (6). Stellar.<br><br>Treble top: Robin van Persie sealed his hat-trick for Manchester United in the 33rd minute<br><br>33min: GOAL! MANCHESTER UNITED 3-0 Aston Villa<br>What a night for Robin van Persie. The striker is about to win his first Premier League title but he has just scored his fifth Premier League hat-trick. The Dutchman collects a pass from Giggs inside the box, before getting the ball out of his feet and slotting into the corner.<br><br>31min: This is much better in fact from Villa as they win a corner after N'Zogbia's shot across goal is blocked behind by Evans - the defender not struggling that much it seems.<br><br>Under pressure: Agbonlahor looks to steal the ball off Rafael<br>29min: Shouts of 'Rio' from the home crowd as Ferdinand goes for a warm up down the touchline. It looks like Jonny Evans is struggling with an injury for Manchester United and the defender may have to come off.<br><br>28min: Free-kick to Aston Villa and a yellow card for Patrice Evra after the United left-back's blatant trip on Charles N'Zogbia in the centre-circle to stop a counter attack.<br><br>25min: Villa have at least settled since United's swashbuckling start, as Joe Bennett's cross is comfortably claimed by David De Gea.<br><br>Reach out: Villa's Joe Bennett (right) tackles United's Shinji Kagawa<br>22min: From Sportsmail's Neil Ashton at Old Trafford:<br>'Well well� I saw goal of the century when Adebayor scored at Villarreal in the Champions League for Arsenal in 2009� Van Persie�s exceptional volley for United�s second has just beaten it<br><br>
19min: Much like closing the stable door after the horse has bolted, Aston Villa are enjoying their best spell as they knock the ball around, with Ryan Giggs lucky to escape picking up a yellow card after a late fou<br><br>
16min: From InfostradaLiv<br>
Wayne Rooney assisted on Van Persie's 2-0, his 10th assist in the PL this season. Only Juan Mata has more (12<br>
Stunning double: Robin van Persie volleyed home Manchester United's second go<br>
13min: GOAL! MANCHESTER UNITED 2-0 Aston Vil<br>
It's Robin van Persie's 27th goal of the season but is this the best of the lot? Rooney plays a long pass from inside his own half and the very next touch from the edge of the box results in the Dutchman powerfully volleying across goal and into the corner. It's certainly a contender for goal of the seaso<br><br>
12min: What a start to this game, Villa so nearly level against the run of play as Christian Benteke curls over the bar first time from a through bal<br><br>
10min: Manchester United are tearing Villa apart here. Van Persie's knockdown from a Giggs cross is cleared before Rafael's low shot moments later cannons low off the post across goa<br><br>
Making a challenge: Villa's Gabriel Agbonlahor steals the ball off Manchester United's Rafa<br>
8min: Aston Villa have been on the back foot so far but they go close to creating a chance as Andreas Weimann's low cross is just too far in front of Gabriel Agbonlaho<br><br>
7min: From Sportsmail's Neil Ashton at Old Traffor<br>
'Atmosphere electric, United fans standing to sing �we shall not be moved<br><br>

6min: From OptaJ<br>:
1 - Ryan Giggs has provided his first Premier League assist of the season (Opta definition); he managed eight in 2011-12. Time<br>.
That goal was timed at 82 seconds by the w<br><br>

4min: And so nearly 2-0! Valencia again is the creator as he swings a cross into the box, but Van Persie this time heads ov<br><br>

Tap in: Robin van Persie opens the scoring for Manchester Uni<br><br>

2min: GOAL! MANCHESTER UNITED 1-0 Aston Vi<br>a
United will look to overcome a few....oh wait they have scored. Wayne Rooney picks out Antonio Valencia with a superb diagonal ball (hint of offside there) before the midfielder cuts the ball back for Rafa<br>.
The full-back swings a cross to the back post, which is played across goal by Ryan Giggs for Robin van Persie to tap ho<br><br>

Kick-off: Manchester United get us go<br><br>

Greetings: Villa boss Paul Lambert (left) and Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson meet before kick-<br>f
19.58: Out come the players to a packed ground and plenty of camera flashes. Big screams of 'United' from the home cro<br><br>

19.55: Both teams are in the tunnel as Villa join United shortly after the hosts emerge from the changing room. Brad Guzan and David De Gea exchange a handsha<br><br>

In preparation: Shinji Kagawa warms up for Manchester United before the g<br>e
19.52: From InfostradaLi<br>:
'This is only the second time in the PL era that the league can be decided on a MONDAY after #MUFC won the title on Monday 2 May 199<br>'
From OptaJ<br>:
56 - Brad Guzan has conceded more goals than any other Premier League goalkeeper this season. Backac<br><br>

19.49: Just over 10 minutes until kick-off, Old Trafford is filling up nicely now with the teams having completed their warm u<br><br>

19.46: From InfostradaLi<br>:
Wayne Rooney will play his 400th match for #MUFC in all competitions. He needs three goals to reach 200 for the cl<br><br>

19.43: Full line-ups from Old Traffo<br>:
Man Utd v Aston Vi<br>a
Man Utd: De Gea, Da Silva, Jones, Evans, Evra, Carrick, Giggs, Valencia, Rooney, Kagawa, van Persie. Subs: Lindegaard, Ferdinand, Hernandez, Nani, Welbeck, Cleverley, Buttn<br>.
Aston Villa: Guzan, Lowton, Vlaar, Baker, Bennett, Westwood, Delph, Weimann, N'Zogbia, Agbonlahor, Benteke. Subs: Given, Clark, El Ahmadi, Bent, Holman, Sylla, Bowe<br>.

Down at Old Trafford with ManU fans ahead of Villa game 19.38: Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson spoke to Sky Sports before the ga<br>:
'Vidic is injured, Rio has a slight injury, it would have been a gamble to play him, if he comes on he will be ok<br>.
'Vidic picked the injury up against West Ham. Jones and Evans are great young players. Give credit to your opponents which we will do tonight because they have lively players and are quick on the counter. Saying that we have the right players for the gam<br><br>

19.35: From Sportsmail's Neil Moxl<br>:
Did Paul Lambert really want to play shoot-out at Old Trafford? Judging by his team, yes. Not sure I would be as bold but it's his ne<br><br>

19.32: That's a very attacking line-up from Aston Villa by the way with four forwards. I admire Paul Lambert and his positive attitude this evening but I hope Villa don't just become lambs to the slaught<br><br>

Class of 2000: On this day 13 years ago, Manchester United won the Premier League ti<br>e
19.27: From InfostradaLi<br>:
ON THIS DAY 13 year ago, 22 April 2000, Manchester United won their 13th league title after a 3-1 win at Southampto<br><br>

19.24: Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert has told Sky Sports his side are not at Old Trafford to make up the numbe<br>:
'We are not here just to make up the numbers. United going for the league or not, this was always going to be toug<br><br>

'When you come here it's still a really tough place but we need the points just as much they <br>.
'We are always a threat but first we have to get the ball. We will give it a right good go, we are not here to sit bac<br><br>

Boost: Aston Villa see the return of Gabriel Agbonla<br>r
19.19: Manchester United are without first-choice central defenders Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic as they look to clinch a record 20th league title against Aston Villa at Old Traffo<br>.
Instead, with Ferdinand on the bench, Sir Alex Ferguson has Phil Jones and Jonny Evans paired together, whilst Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney are both included in a team that also contains Shinji Kaga<br>.
Three points are enough for the hosts but the game is not without consequence for Villa as they remain in trouble at the bottom, just three points clear of the drop zone. Manager Paul Lambert brings back Gabriel Agbonlahor for Jordan Bowe<br><br>

19.14: Some interesting thoughts from Sir Alex Ferguson in his programme notes. The Manchester United boss has sa<br>:
�If we want to win the league we must nail our colours to the mast. That is my mantra now as we enter the last lap in the championship and it was something I felt was in great evidence when we played Stoke last weeke<br><br>

�There are five to play and three of them are at home. The points have to be won but we will do it because we are made of strong stu<br><br>

�People talk about pressure. Certainly when you are on the brink of capturing another league title there is an expectation that can make you feel nervous<br>

One last push: Sir Alex Ferguson has called for his team to nail their colours to the <br>st
19.09: Manchester United starting<br>I:
De Gea, Evans, Evra, Rafael, Jones, Valencia, Rooney, Giggs, Carrick, Van Persie, Kag<br><br>

19.06: Aston Villa starting<br>I:
Guzan, Lowton, Vlaar, Baker, Bennett, Westwood, Delph, N�Zogbia, Weimann, Agbonlahor, Bent<br><br>

19.03: There are overcast scenes in Manchester, with plenty of supporters now outside the ground. Many seem keen to grab themselves some of the merchandise proclaiming a 20th title. It could be a party atmosphere inside the ground this even<br><br>

Shock victory: Gabriel Agbonlahor's goal gifted Aston Villa a shock win at Manchester United in <br>09
19.00: Just an hour until kick-off. The team news should be on the way very shortly as fans start to enter Old Tarff<br><br>

18.57: Villa will also be keen to end an awful recent record against United. They have lost every game since drawing 2-2 at Villa Park in 2010 and haven't beaten the Red Devils since Gabriel Agbonlahor's strike secured a 1-0 at Old Trafford a year earl<br><br>

18.52: There's a big incentive for Aston Villa to win tonight. As well as pulling six points clear of Wigan, the West Midlands side could go level on points with Sunderland, Stoke and Fulh<br><br>

Hammer blow: West Ham's win over Wigan on Saturday handed Villa a boost in the battle against relega<br>on
18.47: Another amusing story coming out of Old Trafford this week concerns Van Persie and how the striker could stay at Old Trafford long after his playing career is o<br>r.
Talk around the clubs suggests the 29-year-old has the potential to be a competent future co<br><br>

18.42: From Opta<br>e:
7/0 - No PL team has conceded more penalties than Aston Villa this season (7), while Man Utd are the only side yet to concede one. Contr<br><br>

18.39: Some breaking news this evening surrounding Luis Suarez and the biting incident from yesterday (you may have heard about it) is that the Liverpool striker has been charged by the FA, read more h<br><br>

Star man: Robin van Persie has excelled since joining from Arsenal last su<br>er
18.34: From Opta<br>e:
3 - Man Utd have lost their last three Premier League games on a Monday, after winning each of the previous nine. Unha<br><br>

18.31: Speaking of Van Persie, should United win the title tonight, Arsenal could give the former Gunners striker and his team-mates a guard of honour when they travel to the Emirates Stadium for their next game. It's sure to be a bitter feeling for many fans of the north London side should that hap<br><br>

18.28: One key player behind United's successful season is Robin van Persie. But what of his strike partner, Wayne Roo<br>y?
It's not been the England star's greatest year having spent much of it in the Dutchman's shadow, as Sportsmail's Martin Samuel explains in his excellent column that Rooney could simply be burning <br><br>

Party mood: United fans were keen to catch on to a possible 20th title<br>in
18.23: Being honest, it's fair to say not many expect Aston Villa to spoil the party this evening but Paul Lambert's team have started to find confidence and form in the last few we<br>s.
They have lost just one of their last five games, and the 2-1 home defeat to Liverpool was a tad unfortunate for t<br>m.
Having said that, I remember saying a similar thing before they played Chelsea in December - a game they would then lose <br><br>

18.18: From Sportsmail's Alex <br>y:
'Very odd that #mufc have to wait until the final home game of the season to receive the trophy. What possible reas<br><br>

18.15: The good news just keeps coming for United it seems, as it is likely there will be a bidding war to be the club's kit supplier in the near fut<br>e.
Current suppliers Nike will likely aim to extend their deal beyond 2015, but they are set to face competition from Liverpool's current manufactures Warrior, who are hoping to expand their exposure in the<br><br><br><br>

Record breakers: Manchester United will aim to win a record 20th league title when they face Aston V<br>la
18.10: For the record, Manchester United must win to secure a 20th title this evening. A draw would not be good enough. It's the same for the relegation scrap too as shared points at Old Trafford would mean QPR and Reading get a brief stay of execut<br><br>

18.05: Kick-off isn't until 8pm this evening but we are roughly just under an hour away until the official team news drops. The one big question mark surrounds Gabriel Agbonlahor, with Aston Villa desperate for the striker to shake off an inju<br><br>

18.00: It's not all about crowning champions tonight though. This is also a massive game concerning the foot of the ta<br>e.
Should Aston Villa do the unthinkable and actually win this evening, it would relegate QPR and Reading into the Championship - while also piling the pressure on Wi<br><br>

Time to celebrate: A merchandise seller parades flags and scarves to mark a 20th United t<br>le
17.55: Well, I say United could get both hands on the trophy. That's not strictly true...for tonight anyway. Should they complete the job against Villa there will be no trophy presentation this even<br>g.
Instead the club would have to wait until May 12 when they take on Swansea at Old Trafford to be reunited with the Premier League tro<br>y.
17.50: Fans are already flocking to Old Trafford, and if you thought I was jumping the gun by being so certain of a United title win - you should see some or the merchandise on offer outside of Old Trafford this evening. Pictures are on the way very shor<br><br>

17.45: It's going to happen, it's just a case of where and when. Manchester United already have one hand on the Premier League trophy and tonight will provide them with the first opportunity in which they can make that two. Welcome to Sportsmail's live coverage as the Red Devils take on Aston Villa looking to seal a record 20th cr<br>n.
