Overview
- Interim manager Michael Carrick’s record improved to seven wins in nine matches, yet he has not been appointed permanently.
- United moved three points clear of Aston Villa in the table, with later results still capable of affecting the gap.
- Casemiro, who is set to leave at season’s end, opened the scoring before Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko sealed the result, and Bruno Fernandes registered his 16th assist of the season.
- The club is weighing options for next season’s coach, with media reports naming Oliver Glasner, Unai Emery, Andoni Iraola, Julian Nagelsmann and Roberto De Zerbi.
- Contract dynamics factor into those choices, as Emery is under contract at Villa until 2029 and Glasner is reported to be leaving Crystal Palace at the season’s close.
