Manchester United strolled to a comfortable 3-0 win at Fulham to move into the top four in the Premier League.

Paul Pogba scored twice, either side of a wonderful Anthony Martial solo effort, as United leapfrogged Chelsea into the Champions League qualification places, albeit having played a game more.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's unbeaten run since taking temporary charge now stands at 11 with the case for him taking the job permanently becoming harder and harder to ignore.

Pogba opened the scoring rifling the ball inside Sergio Rico's near post before Martial picked the ball up some 35 yards from goal, beat the Fulham backline, before stroking home in style.

There was even time for Pogba to add a second from the penalty spot after Juan Mata was clumsily bundled over in the box.
