Manchester United took a step closer to Champions League qualification with a 2-0 win over Wolves on Sunday.

Erik ten Hag has now amassed the most victories for a manager in his debut season at United - 37 in all competitions. A top-four spot was the objective this season and United look in prime position to finish there after opening up a four-point gap to Liverpool in fifth.
