Manchester United made it four wins from four without conceding in all competitions since the World Cup break as they cruised to a 3-0 victory over lowly Bournemouth to consolidate their hold on fourth spot.

Chances were few and far between in the Manchester rain in the first half, but Brazilian midfielder Casemiro did make one count by volleying home from a free-kick to give United the lead in the 23rd minute.

Bournemouth never really threatened to get an equaliser, with the game effectively over as a contest after a rare goal from England full-back Luke Shaw doubled the hosts’ advantage early in the second half.

United missed a flurry of late chances to add a third before the club’s top scorer this season, Marcus Rashford, added one more to his tally late on to put the seal on another impressive victory for Erik ten Hag’s side.

Martial took a blow to the face during that phase of play. The striker receives medical attention before making his way to the touchline. He should be fine to continue.

CHANCE! Martial should score! After a decent build-up down the right flank, the ball is teed up for Casemiro to whip into the box. It is met by Martial at the far post, but the striker heads wide of the target from close range.

An unlikely scorer, Shaw doubles the lead with his first United goal in almost two years. You must go back to the 2-0 victory over Manchester City in March 2021 for his most recent Red Devils strike.

Only six promoted sides have beaten United in the Premier League at Old Trafford. Bournemouth boss O'Neil was part of the Norwich one that triumphed in December 2015, and will hope to inspire the Cherries to follow suit here.
