At Old Trafford, the team coached by Erik ten Hag left no room for suspense. Marcus Rashford (19) and Frenchman Anthony Martial (22) put the home team ahead shortly after the start of the match, and Brazilian Fred sealed the victory after receiving a pass from his compatriot Casemiro (87).
With this victory, United reached 29 points, just one behind Tottenham, who are in 4th place and closing in on the Champions League spots.
Manchester United, with one less match than Spurs and an accessible schedule (Wolverhampton, Bournemouth, and Everton in the next three matchdays), can take a step forward in achieving their main objective of the season, returning to the Champions League.
Wolverhampton, Julen Lopetegui's team, recently defeated Everton 2-1 with goals from Daniel Podence and Rayan Ait-Nouri, but they are still struggling in the standings (17th with 14 points).
