Manchester United’s odds of qualifying for the Champions League have slashed to 1/7 after beating Nottingham Forest 2-0 in today’s ‘Super Sunday’ clash.
- The visitors were close to taking the lead in the opening few minutes, but Jadon Sancho’s effort was cleared off the line by Felipe.
- Forest had an early penalty shout after the ball struck Harry Maguire’s arm, however VAR disregarded any call for a spot-kick.
- United took the lead towards the end of the half through Antony and the Brazilian has now ended a goal drought that spanned all the way back to October.
- The hosts failed to create anything of note in the second half and United doubled their lead through Diogo Dalot – scoring his first Premier League goal.
- Erik ten Hag’s side dominated for the remainder of the half and took all three points back to Manchester.

Will Manchester United Finish In The Top Four?
It’s been a successful first season as Manchester United manager for Erik ten Hag, winning the Carabao Cup earlier in the year. Unbeaten in their last 24 matches at Old Trafford in all competitions and on track for Champions League qualification, the Red Devils are in fine form.
United’s run-in for a Top Four finish has taken a hit recently, with vital players facing a lengthy time out with, Alejandro Garnacho, Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane, Luke Shaw, and Marcus Rashford are all currently out with serious injuries.
Ten Hag will be turning his focus to the FA Cup, as his side face Brighton in an eagerly anticipated semi-final next Saturday.
