Despite Everton having at least 20 shots against them for the sixth time in six Premier League games, the team managed to hang on for a much-needed victory in the end.After 28 games, Man United is still in sixth place, eight points behind Aston Villa in fourth place despite having played one fewer game. If they want to compete in the prestigious Europe competition the following season, they must win all 10 of their remaining games.Manchester United defeated Everton 2-0 at Old Trafford on Saturday to get back on track and reclaim their Champions League spot for the upcoming campaign.The Red Devils were coming off back-to-back league losses to Fulham and Manchester City.
