After a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace, United sit level with Aston Villa on 51 points, but manager Michael Carrick and captain Bruno Fernandes warn against premature celebration.

Manchester United edged Aston Villa on goal difference after a hard‑fought 2-1 win over Crystal Palace, leaving both clubs 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 securing Champions League qualification rather than celebrating a temporary spot in the top four.
