A winning Manchester United is difficult to stop - we've seen that in the past. The priority has to always be football performance and then you talk about fan experience.

I think it is a credit to the lads that we stuck with it, the spirit and fight that we showed. I told him at the start of the season, in every game, you will come into a position to score a goal and you have the capabilities to score. He has the capabilities, the physical and technical skills to finish but also the capabilities physical to run there, to move there with the speed. Today was about revenge, and we got that.” “It’s been a good season up to now. "I was saying to him 'what a strike'.

It is expected that a bid of up to £4.5bn could be enough to get a takeover over the line even though United's American owners reportedly wanted between £6bn and £8bn to sell up. This should be no issue for Musk, even though Tesla's plummeting stock price led to his net worth being slashed by £150bn since November.

Rashford netted with 10 minutes left at Elland Road to make it four successive Premier League games with a goal for the England forward, who has scored in eight of his last nine appearances in the competition.

Man Utd can still win the Premier League this season, according to their former captain Roy Keane, despite being below Arsenal and Man City as things stand.

Even just finishing in the top four would represent progress for Man Utd this season. But according to Keane, Ten Hag’s team are far from being out of the title race yet. He has kept Man Utd on track despite But Erik ten Hag has been steadying the ship since his appointment as manager last summer.

Neville thinks the Dutchman's chosen lineup spoke volumes over his belief in the team's title chances, though, and has suggested he had one eye on the first leg of their Europa League knockout play-off clash with Barcelona.
