The victory propels United back into the conversation for the top four, but the battle for Champions League qualification is far from over. Tottenham Hotspur, despite a recent dip in form, still hold a slender advantage. Aston Villa, under the impressive Steven Gerrard, continue to surprise with their attacking flair.
Beyond these three teams, Arsenal and West Ham cannot be discounted. The Gunners, rejuvenated under Mikel Arteta, are just four points behind United, while the Hammers, led by the ever-reliable Declan Rice, maintain their outside shot at a historic top-four finish.
Can United Maintain Momentum?
United's resurgence under ten Hag is undeniable. They have climbed from a disappointing mid-table position at the start of the season and are now firmly in the hunt for Champions League qualification. However, their remaining fixtures present a significant challenge.
If United can navigate their upcoming fixtures with consistency, they have a real chance of securing a return to the Champions League stage. But with the likes of Tottenham, Aston Villa, and other challengers breathing down their necks, the top-four race promises to be a thrilling nail-biter until the very end of the season.
