Man Utd near Champions League

Interim manager Michael Carrick has been widely praised for the team's resurgence, with some players and pundits calling for him to be appointed on a permanent basis.

The win was particularly emotional for veteran midfielder Casemiro, who is expected to leave the club at the end of the season.

United now sit third in the Premier League table, two points clear of their nearest rivals with only a handful of games remaining.

A crucial clash against Liverpool next Sunday could officially confirm their place in next season's competition.
