Man United's remaining Premier League fixtures compared with Newcastle, Liverpool FC and rivals

Manchester United cleared another hurdle in the top-four race on Saturday with a 2-0 win at home to Wolves.

Goals from Anthony Martial and Alejandro Garnacho earned a valuable three points that saw United return to winning ways, following consecutive away defeats at Brighton and West Ham United. Erik ten Hag's side are now 28 games unbeaten at Old Trafford, their home form likely to be the deciding factor in securing a place in next season's Champions League.

Victory also opened up a four-point gap on Liverpool as the weekend came to a close, although Jurgen Klopp's side closed the gap back to just a single point with their 3-0 win at Leicester City on Monday night. Elsewhere, Newcastle dropped two points at Leeds United while Brighton dismantled Arsenal at the Emirates.

EXCLUSIVE: United set to release five players

The Reds remain in charge of their own destiny, as they have done for the majority of the season. But with so little room for error, the pressure is on to fulfil one of Ten Hag's major objectives at the start of the campaign. With the finish line on May 28 now in sight, MEN Sport has taken a look at United's remaining league fixtures compared to those of their top four rivals.

Manchester United - 4th (66pts)

Bournemouth (A) - May 20
Chelsea (H) - May 25
Fulham (H) - May 28

Verdict: Saturday's win was much-needed, with an air of pessimism clouding over the red half of Manchester following back-to-back defeats on the road. United's away form against top-half sides has been dismal this season, but Old Trafford remains a fortress and victory over Wolves signalled a fourth straight win and a sixth consecutive clean sheet on home turf.

In that sense, home games against Chelsea and Fulham present United with the chance to pick up the six points they need to guarantee Champions League football, no matter results elsewhere.

A point or three at Bournemouth on Saturday would be no bad thing as well, and United will hope for the latter with Gary O'Neil's side having secured their Premier League status last weekend.
