Manchester United gave their top four ambitions a huge shot in the arm with a 2-0 win at home to Brighton, even though Ralf Rangnick's side remained largely unconvincing.
Cristiano Ronaldo blasted home the game's opening goal at the start of the second half, with United then aided by a red card for Brighton defender Lewis Dunk following a VAR review.
Prior to that, the hosts had been indebted to a wonderful save from David de Gea to keep out Jakub Moder as Brighton had dominated much of the first period, with Yves Bissouma also going close to provide what would have been a deserved lead.
