Manchester United have won the Carabao Cup, they have reached the FA Cup final and Champions League football looks guaranteed.
Manchester United defenders are proving why Erik ten Hag is right about his transfer priority

Manchester United halted their three-game winless run in the Premier League with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Brentford at Old Trafford on Wednesday evening.
Marcus Rashford netted the only goal of the game shortly before the half-hour mark, scoring United's first league goal since Jadon Sancho put the gloss on a 3-0 triumph over Leicester City on February 19. Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United, not least the manner of it, meant the Reds were under intense pressure to arrest their recent wobble and climb back into the top four.
Although Erik ten Hag's side successfully achieved that mission, they are only three points ahead of fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur, meaning they can ill-afford to take their foot off the pedal as the race for Champions League qualification intensifies. Four of United's next six league fixtures are away from home and their form on the road this season has been patchy to say the least.

That, however, is not to say United can underestimate Everton. The Toffees are currently on a four-game unbeaten run and have taken points off Brentford, Chelsea and Tottenham during that period. They have also proven to be a lot harder to beat since Sean Dyche took charge in January.
That, however, is not to say that United cannot find a way to break Everton down and scoop all three points and, even if only temporarily, climb back up to third ahead of Newcastle facing Brentford later in the day. Newcastle
