Fernandes inspires United victory as Chelsea suffer fresh blow
Bruno Fernandes began the game with clear intent and nearly opened the scoring after curling an effort just inches wide.
Manchester United had looked off the pace in their 2-1 defeat to Leeds United on Monday, their first outing in over three weeks.
However, the side responded strongly as manager Michael Carrick guided them to an important win that boosted their hopes of returning to the UEFA Champions League next season.
Matheus Cunha broke the deadlock two minutes before half-time with a composed finish after being set up by Fernandes, who registered his 18th Premier League assist of the season.
Chelsea FC improved after the restart but could not avoid another disappointing defeat, increasing uncertainty over the future of manager Liam Rosenior ahead of next season.
Liam Delap struck the woodwork with a header, while Noussair Mazraoui diverted a dangerous cross onto his own crossbar under pressure from Wesley Fofana.
Moises Caicedo, fresh from signing a new seven-year contract, also went close to snatching an equaliser for the hosts.
At full-time, loud boos rang around the stadium as Chelsea FC supporters reacted to another setback, with the club now appearing destined for UEFA Europa League football at best next term.
