The Red Devils' 3-0 win against Leicester City on Sunday was another huge step as the Red Devils edged closer to a top-four finish and also put them in position for a possible title charge.
However, Erik Ten Hag has consistently dismissed the possibility and rather wants his team to focus on each game as it comes.
Sunday afternoon was an all-around positive display for the Red Devils, although the first half was not very exciting. David De Gea ensured his side took their time to settle into the game, making vital saves against Hervey Barnes and Kelechi Iheanacho before Marcus Rashford put the Red Devils ahead following a vintage transitional attacking play.
The Red Devils resumed the second half in a better fashion, scoring twice within 16 minutes of resumption. Marcus Rashford doubled their lead with a replica of his first-half goal, as Fred set him up one-on-one with the goalkeeper after Man United recovered from Leicester City's attack.
Jadon Sancho ensured Manchester United's three points were safe as he scored the third following a free flowing one-two pass and move interplay with Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes before effortlessly putting the ball behind Leicester City's keeper, with Bruno Fernandes earning his second assist of the day.
The win ensured they are in touching distance with Arsenal and Manchester City, who they trail by 8 points and 3 points, respectively. Marcus Rashford's double saw him create a new personal record of 24 goals across all competitions, matching Cristiano Ronaldo's goal tally for last campaign as well.
