United Stay Focused After 2-1 Win, Downplay Table Position

Manchester United secured a 2-1 win at Old Trafford against Crystal Palace, giving them a goal‑difference edge over Aston Villa. Both clubs now sit level on 51 points in third and fourth place.

Manager Michael Carrick said the table position “doesn’t mean an awful lot at the moment” and urged the team to keep progressing. Captain Bruno Fernandes echoed the message, stressing that many games remain and the focus must stay on Champions League qualification ahead of the March 15 clash with Villa.
