Manchester United racked up their second 4-0 demolition in as many weeks as they followed the opening weekend victory over West Ham withh a thumping win over Swansea at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday to go clear at the top of the Premier League table.

Jose Mourinho’s side remained without injured trio Luke Shaw, Ashley Young and Marcos Rojo, and he stuck with the same starting XI that beat the Hammers in a show of faith.

As for Swansea, Fernando Llorente is back in training after fracturing his arm in a cycling accident last month but was not available to face United.

Eric Bailly put United ahead just before the break, but Swansea were proving hard to break down and Marcus Rashford was guilty of wasting a good chance to score. What followed in the second half though was a four-minute blitz as Romelu Lukaku, Anthony Martial and Paul Pogba all scored to seal the victory.
