MANCHESTER: A hattrick from Ruud Van Nistelrooy and a goal from David Beckham gave Manchester United a 4-1 win over Charlton Athletic at Old Trafford yesterday and moved them closer to the English Premier League title.
United now have 80 points with one match to play. Arsenal, the only other contenders, have 72 from 35 games and would concede the championship if they failed to beat Leeds United at Highbury today.
