According to ESPN, the Red Devils won back-to-back Premier League games for the first time under Ruben Amorim, having beaten Sunderland before the break.
Arne Slot’s men remained in the title race in fourth place, but it is only a matter of time before they are out if they do not fix their current form.
Arsenal, Chelsea win big
Arsenal remained at the top of the table with 19 points after a 2-0 victory in the London derby after Leandro Trossard’s goal and a defensive masterclass from the Gunners.
Manchester City kept up with Arsenal at the top of the table with 16 points after Erling Haaland's brace helped Pep Guardiola's side beat Everton 2-0.
World champions Chelsea built on their 2-1 win over Liverpool before the international break with a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.
The result led to Ange Postecoglou’s dismissal after 39 days and left Enzo Maresca worried about his team’s discipline after another red card, their fifth in six games.
Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United dropped points after their 2-1 losses to Aston Villa and Brighton, while Bournemouth and Crystal Palace played a 3-3 draw.
