United managed to level before the break when Matty Cash was robbed to the right of the Villa penalty area and Matheus Cunha blasted the loose ball past Emiliano Martinez, but its joy was short-lived as captain Bruno Fernandes had to be replaced at halftime due to injury.
Although United started the second half brightly, Rogers netted again in the 57th minute with another curled effort past Lammens to ensure Villa will spend Christmas third in the table on 36 points, 10 ahead of its visitor in seventh.
