Strikes from Scott McTominay and substitute Anthony Martial proved enough to get the Red Devils over the line in the early kick-off, but the winning margin arguably should’ve been much greater.
United had 29 shots on goal, 11 on target and accumulated an xG of 3.52. A total of seven big chances were missed by the Reds, including four from talisman Marcus Rashford and one each from Antony, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Bruno Fernandes.
Erik ten Hag’s side are up next in the Europa League quarter-final at home to Sevilla before a trip to the City Ground against relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest.
Following Carabao Cup triumph earlier this season, Manchester United ended a six-year wait for silverware and could add further glory to an already illustrious trophy cabinet at Old Trafford.
The Reds face Brighton in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley later this month with a potential final against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City to come, who must overcome Sheffield United first.
According to Premier League betting sites, United are 750/1 to win the league this season and hopes have well and truly sailed for a 20th league title.
