Manchester United picked up another three points on Monday evening as they work to establish themselves as Champions League contenders.
At the Hill Dickinson Stadium, Michael Carrick’s team needed only one goal to win, with Benjamin Sesko scoring the winner after coming on as a substitute. Crystal Palace are next up at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon, as United try to fend off rivals Liverpool and Chelsea and finish fourth.
Despite United’s recent victory, Carrick’s team selection has sparked criticism, while Marcus Rashford’s future remains unknown, and the Red Devils are looking ahead to the summer transfer market. Here are all the most recent updates from Old Trafford.

According to the Mirror, United are monitoring Morgan Gibbs-White and his Nottingham Forest teammate Elliot Anderson.
The crisis-hit Midlanders are set to want £100 million for central midfielder Anderson, 23, while attacking midfielder Gibbs-White might get more than £60 million.
Gibbs-White’s new contract, secured after his £60 million move to Tottenham fell through last summer, is said to have a release clause.
Benjamin Sesko’s goal on Monday cemented his claim to more starts, but the big question is who the striker should replace.
He replaced Amad against Everton, causing a front-line upheaval, and ex-United captain Gary Neville believes it’s a change that should be made from the start the next time around.
Neville granted United manager Carrick the green light to alter his attack for the club’s forthcoming match, telling Sky Sports: “I think now on Sunday Michael Carrick starts him.”
“Just thinking about how Michael would react to it, I believe it would kill him if he didn’t start. “On Sunday, Cunha will be on the left, Mbeumo on the right, Sesko on top, and Bruno behind.
