Manchester United Women secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Aston Villa on Sunday, moving within one point of the European qualification places in the Women's Super League.

The win at Leigh Sports Village keeps United's hopes of a top-three finish alive as they chase a spot in next season's UEFA Women's Champions League.

Aston Villa put up a resilient defensive display but ultimately fell short as United found the decisive breakthrough.

The result leaves Marc Skinner's side in fourth place, just behind the Champions League spots with several matches remaining in the campaign.
