It is vital United follow this up with another win over top four rivals West Ham at Old Trafford on Saturday.

This was the message Bruno Fernandes wanted to get across after the win, that United have to build on it.

Fernandes played a key role in United’s win, providing two assists, including setting up a goal for substitute Marcus Rashford.

Rashford’s goal was his first in 12 games, while Mason Greenwood scored his first league goal since October from a Fernandes assist.

Defender Alex Telles agreed with Fernandes, while Diogo Dalot celebrated by also toasting his 50th United appearance.

The battle for a top four place is beginning to heat up, and while Tottenham have a couple of games in hand, Chelsea’s poor form drags them right into the mix too.

United are nine points behind third placed Chelsea with two games in hand, and so winning them can cut the gap down to just three. There are 17 league games left this season, and a lot left to play for.

The final word belonged with defender Raphael Varane, who thanked the travelling fans for their support.
