Gary Neville believes Manchester United will now be ‘more confident’ than Liverpool, Chelsea and Aston Villa about qualifying for the Champions League.

United’s incredible turnaround under caretaker manager Michael Carrick continued on Saturday as the Red Devils beat ten-man Tottenham 2-0 at Old Trafford.

Spurs captain Cristian Romero was sent off after just half an hour of Saturday’s game and the hosts took full advantage of their numerical advantage, taking the lead shortly after through Bryan Mbeumo.

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes put the game to bed late on, sealing the club’s fourth successive win under caretaker boss Carrick.

The brilliant run since Ruben Amorim’s sacking leaves United fourth in the Premier League with 13 games remaining, one point above Chelsea and four above defending champions Liverpool.

Chelsea continued their encouraging form under new manager Liam Rosenior with a 3-1 win over Wolves on Saturday but fellow top-four rival Liverpool lost 2-1 to Manchester City.

Arne Slot’s side led with ten minutes to go through Dominik Szoboszlai’s brilliant free-kick but late goals from Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland completed an impressive Man City comeback.
