Manchester United's aim of securing Champions League football in Erik ten Hag's first season at the helm looks likely to be achieved after another positive display.
The Red Devils welcomed Sean Dyche's Everton to Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon knowing that the result would have huge implications at both ends of the table. Thankfully for United, they made light work of the Toffees as goals from Scott McTominay and Anthony Martial ensured the hosts took all three points.
Considering how both Newcastle and Tottenham went on to win their games just hours later, it was essential United got the victory if they wanted to keep distance between Spurs and themselves while trying to leapfrog the Magpies, who sit above them on goal difference.
