Scott McTominay kept alive Manchester United's hopes of finishing in the Premier League's top four as the midfielder's late goal clinched a vital 2-1 win against Aston Villa on Sunday.
Erik ten Hag's side desperately needed a victory at Villa Park to close the gap in the race to qualify for next season's Champions League.
United took an early lead through in-form Rasmus Hojlund before Douglas Luiz levelled in the second half. That set the stage for United's second late winner against Villa this term as McTominay came off the bench to head home with just four minutes left.
United remain in sixth place after their fourth successive victory in all competitions, but they are now just five points behind fifth-placed Villa and six adrift of fourth-placed Tottenham.
