United bolstered their bid to qualify for the Uefa Champions League with a vital 3-1 win against top-four rivals Aston Villa yesterday.Michael Carrick's side took the lead through Casemiro's second-half opener at Old Trafford before Ross Barkley hauled Villa level. United finished strongly, with Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko scoring in the closing stages to seal Carrick's seventh win in nine games since taking over as interim boss.
Sitting third in the English Premier League, United are three points clear of fourth-placed Villa in the race to reach the Champions League via a top-four finish. United co-owner Jim Ratcliffe this week praised Carrick's "excellent" work, but stopped short of committing to the former Old Trafford star on a long-term basis.
