Christian Eriksen was happy with how Manchester United handled the "extra pressure" and recovered from the consecutive losses that put their hopes of finishing in the top four in jeopardy.
Erik ten Hag's debut season has been promising; he led the Red Devils to the FA Cup final against Manchester City in June and won the Carabao Cup.
United has significantly improved from its Premier League showings from the previous season and has long appeared like it will qualify for Champions League play.
Liverpool was able to tighten the gap following consecutive losses at Brighton and West Ham, but Ten Hag's team regained their winning ways on Saturday by defeating Wolves 2-0.
Midfielder Eriksen admitted that there was added strain after losing two games.
We're going to concentrate on us since we have demonstrated the qualities and character necessary to be where we are. Three victories in the previous three contests are required for us.
The following weekend, United plays at Bournemouth before wrapping up the league schedule at home against Chelsea and Fulham.
With 25 victories in all competitions at Old Trafford, Ten Hag's team is on pace to tie the club record of 27 home victories in a single season.
Eriksen told MUTV, "It's obviously something that we need to do in order to end the season well with a spotless home record.
We know where we can pick up extra points because at home right now we're feeling very, very secure, but in the end, of course, for next season we need to be as excellent at home, but also away, and then it's going to be a fantastic season.
With Anthony Martial ultimately scoring after a deft Antony ball, United never appeared in danger against Wolves.
It appeared to be the winning goal until Alejandro Garnacho scored in injury time, capping after a two-month absence due to injury.
The teenager's return was welcomed by Eriksen, who expressed his appreciation.
