Victory means that they are still sixth in the standings, five points behind Arsenal and three short of Tottenham, who each still have four games to play compared to United’s two.
These two clubs picked up victories in the race for the final Champions League place on Sunday, while Chelsea lost at Everton.
The battle for the fourth Champions League place looks set to go all the way to the final day, with Arsenal two points above Spurs with four games left.
Tottenham put the pressure on Arsenal on Sunday in the earlier game as they beat Leicester 3-1 in north London.
Harry Kane opened the scoring before Son Heung-Min hit a double in the second half to make the game safe. Kelechi Iheanacho grabbed a consolation.
But Arsenal responded with a 2-1 win at West Ham in the 1630 kick-off.
Rob Holding and Gabriel Magalhaes found the net for Arsenal despite a temporary equaliser from Jarrod Bowen.
In the other match on Sunday, Everton remain in the relegation zone but earned a crucial 1-0 home win over Chelsea.
Richarlison hit the winner to keep Everton‘s hopes of staying up alive.
Manchester City and Liverpool continue to go toe-to-toe at the top of the Premier League table, with both clubs winning their Saturday fixtures.
Jurgen Klopp’s Reds were first up as they made the trip to face in-form Newcastle at St James’ Park. It was a predictably complicated affair for them, but they came through with a 1-0 win thanks to a goal from Naby Keita midway through the first half.
Liverpool initially moved to the top of the table with the victory but Man City did not falter when they played away to Leeds. Indeed, the 4-0 victory from Pep Guardiola’s side means that they boast a virtually identical record in terms of goals scored and conceded to their rivals. This could yet be crucial come the end of the season.
Rodri opened the scoring after 13 minutes to settle any nerves, while Nathan Ake, Gabriel Jesus and Fernandinho were all on target in the second half.
The other big action in the Premier League on Saturday came at the foot of the table. Norwich were relegated as they lost 2-0 to Aston Villa, virtually ensuring the safety of Steven Gerrard’s men in the process.
Burnley, meanwhile, picked up a third successive win to move out of the relegation zone.
Any lingering hopes Wolves had of reaching Europe, meanwhile, were dashed as they were thumped 3-0 at home by Brighton, while Crystal Palace picked up their ninth win of the season as they defeated out-of-form Southampton 2-1 away from home.
