Manchester United fans appear bullish about the club’s top four chances regardless of how the remainder of the January transfer window goes.
Marcus Rashford’s last-gasp winning goal gave United a crucial 1-0 victory over top-four rivals West Ham on Saturday, with the three points enough to leapfrog the Hammers into the final Champions League qualification place.
