Aston Villa defeated Manchester United 3-1 in a penalty shootout at Villa Park to progress to the final of the FA Youth Cup in a game watched by Sir Alex Ferguson and Marcus Rashford.

In the case of the latest news, however, the most recent development actually benefits Villa. The later April fixture against Manchester City has been moved from Wednesday to Tuesday of the planned week and will now take place on the 22nd, as reported by Matt Maher of the Express & Star on X.

Villa will have 24 hours longer to prepare for this month’s FA Cup semi-final than opponents Crystal Palace after both teams had fixtures moved.
