Manchester United are back in third following their two-nil win against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Sunday in the English Premier League (EPL).
United managed to squeeze two goals beyond the masterclass of Forest’s goalkeeper Kaylor Navas.
Antony tapped in his first Premier League goal since October as the opener after 32 minutes of play, and Diogo Dalot also got his first EPL goal for United.
The Red Devils will now move three points above Newcastle who suffered a devastating 3-0 loss away to Aston Villa on Saturday.
They have acquired now 59 points, one higher than all the points they achieved last campaign.
The Europa League quarter-final away to Sevilla on Thursday will be a tricky one as they are both tied 2-2.
