Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag believes his team are "back" in the top-four chase after they defeated Everton 2-0 in their English Premier League match at Old Trafford on March 9.
The Toffees paid for conceding two first-half penalties to Bruno
Fernandes and Marcus Rashford, as the Red Devils bounced back to winning ways to keep alive their Champions League hopes.
The victory meant that ten Hag's team remain sixth but, with 47 points, they crept closer to fourth placed Aston Villa who have a game in hand on 55.-
Fifth-placed Tottenham, who host Villa on March 10, have 50 points and two games in hand.
"Every game you have to win, so every game is a must-win," said ten Hag on TNT Sports. "We had to put this right and keep the pressure on the teams above us. Now we are back. We will keep pressure on them and see what happens.
"We could have scored three or four goals, we defended very well and (we were good) with our attacks and counter-attacks.
"We could have been a bit better in the build-up. We could have been calmer and more composed on the ball." Back-to-back losses to Fulham and Manchester City had dented a charge from ten Hag's men.
