Michael Carrick’s men now occupy fourth place with 48 points from 27 games, sitting three points clear of Chelsea in fifth.
While the contest was hardly a spectacle for purists, United proved clinical when it mattered and delivered a disciplined defensive display.
It marked their second clean sheet in three outings, having conceded twice in recent 3-2 wins over Arsenal and Fulham, per Citi Sports.
Goalkeeper Senne Lammens was once again outstanding, registering his fifth clean sheet since replacing Andre Onana as United’s first-choice keeper.
The Belgian demonstrated commanding aerial ability from corners and produced a superb save to tip a long-range effort from former United defender Michael Keane over the crossbar in the second half.

Man United fans praise Lammens
United fans were quick to heap praise on the 23-year-old, with many convinced he could remain the club’s number one for years.
One supporter wrote:
“Lammens is a breath of fresh air man, such an underrated signing.”
Another asked:
“Where did we find Lammens? He is lab-made for United.”
A third commented:
“I’ve lost count of the number of times Lammens has saved us in situations like this. Unreal signing.”
And a fourth added:
“I’ve never been more relaxed since De Gea left. Thank you Lammens.”
@eastsportsman said:
"Lammens my man of the match . On a night where he needed to be perfect he delivered a flawless performance . Nothing spectacular. Just efficiency delivered."
Watch highlights of Lammens vs Everton below:
Speaking on Monday Night Football after the win, Lammens highlighted the team’s collective effort.
“It was more about the hard work today, the defending and the togetherness. Especially in the first half, it was really difficult, and I think we have to be better on the ball.
“But if you work together and defend well, you don’t concede, and we have players up front who can make a difference. One counter, then you can score and win.
“Since the manager’s been in, we’ve defended really well together, actually, for almost the whole season. If me and the defence keep it at zero, we always have a chance to win. That was the case today.
“They’re a very physical team and strong at set pieces. But aerial ability is one of my strengths, even if at times I had to start behind the goal line to come out for corners.”
