The Manchester United squad celebrated confirming their third-place finish in the Premier League by going for a team meal at an upscale and lively Greek restaurant in the heart of the city on Sunday night. Michael Carrick's side edged an entertaining five-goal thriller with Nottingham Forest in their final home game of the season at Old Trafford‚ earlier in the day. Bruno Fernandes grabbed the headlines‚ equalling the Premier League assists record also held by top-flight legends Kevin De Bruyne and Thierry Henry‚ setting up Bryan Mbeumo for United's third‚ after Luke Shaw and Matheus Cunha had netted the hosts' first two goals of the afternoon.
CHRIS WHEELER AT THE STADIUM OF LIGHT: United haven't produced many bad performances under Michael Carrick‚ but this was one of them as a team showing five changes from last weekend laboured against a spirited Sunderland side who hit the post through Brian Brobbey and were frustrated by goalkeeper Senne Lammens. In fact‚ United didn't manage a single shot on target until the third minute of injury-time when Matheus Cunha's effort was blocked by Robin Roefs at close-range‚ which is a damning indictment on a team still packed with expensive‚ attacking talent.
CHRIS WHEELER: Casemiro and Matheus Cunha are the latest United players to say publicly that Carrick deserves to keep the job after guiding his team to 10 wins in 14 games. 'I think as a coach or manager‚ you're only a leader of a group if people want to follow you‚' added Carrick. 'It's not a thing that you can talk about so much‚ it's actions that prove that.'
“You never know” - Manchester United star hints Casemiro could stay at Old Trafford in surprise late twist
Manchester United have the bragging rights over bitter rivals Liverpool after a 3-2 victory at Old Trafford on Sunday to complete a Premier League double this season. Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko gave the Red Devils a 2-0 lead at half-time before Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo levelled for the visitors. However‚ academy graduate Kobbie Mainoo scored the winner for the hosts with a fine side-footed finish to confirm Michael Carrick's side Champions League for next season. Daily Mail Sport's CHRIS WHEELER (Manchester United) and LEWIS STEELE (Liverpool) were at the match to provide their player ratings.
IAN LADYMAN AT OLD TRAFFORD: Maybe it was actually sweeter for Manchester United to win this way. To give their great rivals some hope and then snatch it away from them again. Michael Carrick and his United team are back in the Champions League and this was quite some way to do it. Fifteen minutes in and United were two goals up and rampant. Liverpool scored seven at Anfield against Erik ten Hag's version of United back in 2023 and‚ after those early goals from Matheus Cunha and then Benjamin Sesko‚ Carrick's players must have sniffed some kind of ultimate payback.
Roy Keane has reaffirmed his beliefs that Michael Carrick is not the right man for Manchester United long-term‚ despite their impressive 3-1 win over Aston Villa on Sunday. The Red Devils boosted their hopes of a top-four finish and Champions League qualification next season thanks to goals from Casemiro‚ Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko. The result sees United remain third in the Premier League but move three points clear of fourth-placed Villa‚ five above fifth-placed Liverpool and six ahead of sixth-placed Chelsea with eight games remaining.
CHRIS WHEELER AT OLD TRAFFORD: Michael Carrick has done so much right since he became Manchester United's head coach‚ but even he needs the breaks to go his way every now and then. United were trailing to Crystal Palace at Old Trafford and in need of the inspiration that was starting to come from their irrepressible captain Bruno Fernandes when this game turned on its head eight minutes into the second half. Fernandes slipped a pass through for Matheus Cunha who turned Maxence Lacroix and raced towards goal. The Palace scorer instinctively grabbed Cunha by his right shoulder and he stayed on his feet just long enough to ensure he went down in the box.
Matheus Cunha has done everything right under Michael Carrick - now he needs Manchester United reward
The Gunners had the chance to go seven points clear at the top of the table with a win but Matheus Cunha's 87th-minute winner ensured the victory went to Michael Carrick's side on Sunday. Mikel Arteta's men will be keen to right those wrongs in their next three league games against Leeds‚ Sunderland and Brentford‚ but the number-crunchers at Opta reckon Arsenal are now less likely to win the league after that loss.
ARSENAL 2-3 MAN UNITED - OLIVER HOLT AT THE EMIRATES: It is a while since The Emirates has been like this. It is a while since frustration gripped it and angst overcame it and fear stalked it. The crushing anxiety that accompanies the anticipation of old failings had stayed away from Arsenal's home this season but now it is back. And it may not go away again. What Sir Alex Ferguson called Squeaky Bum Time has come early to this part of North London. When Matheus Cunha scored Manchester United's winner three minutes from the end of normal time‚ the frustration of the Arsenal supporters boiled over. The ground became a tortured vision. A forest of hands pointing‚ a sea of heads shaking‚ a cacophony of angry voices yelling.
FA could take action against Matheus Cunha for what he did in Man United's dramatic 3-2 win over Arsenal
