Manchester United are pushing for a place in the top four, and they need to win these matches at home. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United can build on the lead and grind out all three points eventually.

The goal is likely to give Dorgu an enormous confidence boost, and he will look to make a defining contribution for the team defensively as well.
