Manchester United profited from Tottenham Hotspur captain Cristian Romero’s red card to stretch their perfect start under interim manager Michael Carrick to four games, following a 2-0 Premier League win at Old Trafford on Feb 7.
Goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Bruno Fernandes ended an eight-game winless run against Spurs for the Red Devils, who cemented their position in the top four.
A place in the top five is likely to secure a place in next season’s Champions League due to the strong performance of English sides in European competition.
Spurs’ hopes of qualifying for the Champions League through their league position have long since disappeared, and another damaging defeat for Thomas Frank leaves his team in 14th.
"It was an open game. We looked dangerous from the start, it was really pleasing but we had to solve a few things. The second half we managed it really well, a really positive day," said Carrick, who also reserved special praise for captain Fernandes.
