Though United made life much harder than it needed to be after throwing away a two-goal advantage and allowing the rock-bottom Canaries to draw level, Cristiano Ronaldo completed his hat-trick late on to secure a massive win.

United's top-four rivals Tottenham and Arsenal both lost yesterday, to Brighton and Southampton, respectively, which has seen United jump up to fifth place and move to within three points of the final Champions League spot.
