Juan Mata scored the only goal of the game to keep Manchester United in the mix for a top-four finish and edge Norwich closer to relegation from the Premier League.
The Red Devils are now just a point behind fourth-placed Manchester City, who face Arsenal on Sunday, thanks to Mata's solitary strike at Carrow Road on Saturday.
Sebastien Bassong crucially misjudged a cross and allowed Wayne Rooney to get in behind the Norwich defence, before setting up Mata for the all important winner.
Norwich stay in 19th and must now hope both Newcastle and Sunderland drop points this weekend in their faltering bid to avoid an instant return to the Championship.
