The victory against Palace moved United up to third in the Premier League table, marking their highest placement since May 2023. Meanwhile, Wolverhampton Wanderers were the biggest winners on the other end of the table as they claimed a shocking 2-0 victory over top-four hopefuls Aston Villa at Molineux Stadium. It may not do much in the grand scheme of the Premier League relegation battle, but it’s another massive morale boost for Rob Edwards’ Championship-bound troops.
