Overview
- Manchester United beat Liverpool 3-2 on Sunday at Old Trafford to confirm their place in next season’s Champions League.
- United surged 2-0 ahead through Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko, Liverpool leveled after errors by Amad Diallo and goalkeeper Senne Lammens, and Kobbie Mainoo settled it in the 77th minute days after signing a new long-term contract.
- Carrick has 10 wins in 14 league games since taking charge in January, and delivering Champions League qualification has boosted calls for him to get the job full-time.
- Liverpool remain in the top five race and still need points from their final three matches in a season that awards at least five Premier League clubs Champions League spots.
- Tottenham eased relegation pressure with a 2-1 victory at Aston Villa the same day, moving out of the bottom three with three league games left.
