It’s turning out to be another successful evening at Old Trafford for Manchester United as they are cruising to yet another victory – their fourth consecutive win in the Premier League.
Erik ten Hag made a number of changes from the side that beat Wolves last weekend but it was United’s main men that were on the scoresheet this evening.
Casemiro gave the Reds the lead in the first half before Luke Shaw doubled United’s lead shortly after half-time. The 27-year-old was involved in the third goal as well, to say the least.
Marcus Rashford is in sparkling form at the moment, scoring in all three games after the season was resumed prior to this game. That goalscoring form has now been extended, as seen below.
Marcus Rashford scores AGAIN! That's a goal in each of Manchester United's three Premier League matches since the World Cup ended.

Shaw’s outrageous pass was met by Bruno Fernandes, who perfectly guided the ball towards Rashford. The tricky winger made no mistake with the goal gaping.
The win takes United five points clear of fifth-placed Tottenham and they are now level on points with third-placed Newcastle, who have played one more game.
