Aston Villa set to file complaint about referee selection after Man Utd loss on final day of the season

The Villains lost to Manchester United 2-0 on the final day of the season, ending their hopes of playing in the Champions League.

Amad Diallo and Christian Eriksen's strikes were enough to end Villa's hope after Emiliano Martinez was sent off in the game.

Unai Emery's side wanted a more experienced official for the Old Trafford clash, which saw their Champions League hopes dashed.

Aston Villa will file a complaint with the Premier League over the appointment of 35-year-old referee Thomas Bramall for Saturday's match at Old Trafford against Manchester United, reports The Athletic.

The Villans, the same source states, wanted a more experienced referee for the crucial match that determined UEFA Champions League qualification.

Unai Emery's team ultimately lost, missing out on Champions League football for the second consecutive year.

The referee sent off goalkeeper Emi Martinez in the 45th minute for a late challenge on Rasmus Hojlund and awarded a penalty to the Red Devils late in the game.

Aston Villa are complaining about a goal by Morgan Rogers, disallowed in the second half, before Christian Eriksen scored United's second.

A draw would have been enough for Emery's side to secure Champions League qualification, as Newcastle lost at home (0-1) to Everton.
