A quick counter via Rashford, Matic making a great run on the overlap to distract the Hammers and Rashford feeds Lukaku who makes a great finish past Hart. Nice goal, 1-0 to United  8)

De Gea makes a good save after a Hernandez shot deflects a bit and that's the first half over. Good performance from United so far but we haven't got anywhere near enough attempts on target yet AGAIN  :o

Think we'll see goals from both sides in the second half.

And that's two for Lukaku. Terrible defending as Lukaku sticks it in from a free kick with his nut. 8)

Martial came on for Rashford and gets number three.

2 minutes to go plus injury time, another goal and we go top of the table lol

And there it is, Pogba makes it 4-0. United top of the table unless the Hammers get a consolation goal.

4-0 final score and a deserved result that reflects the balance of play. ;D

Great starts for Matic and Lukaku and Pogba looks to be benefiting from Matic's presence on the pitch. Top of the table and near the bottom of the Premiership Injury Table with only 4 players injured - the least amount of players injured for United during the last 3 years :o

The Swans playing with 11 men behind the ball.

Pogba picked up an early yellow card so needs to be careful.

And that's the end of the first half, United go in a goal up. Goal came from a corner, Pogba headed it producing a good save from the keeper, the ball came off the crossbar and Bailly was quick to react and put it in the net.

I thought that Rashford would be the first to score because he was United's biggest threat in the first half.

Fer should have gone off for that challenge on Blind. That was a potential leg breaker :o

And Lukaku gets United's second goal. 8)

And 2 minutes later Pogba gets number 3! ;D

I want another couple of goals, we used to average 3 games a season (in all competitions) scoring 5 goals every season since the club was first founded and that statistic has dropped since Fergie left.

And Martial gets number 4! 8)

It ended 0-4 to United 8)

A couple of easy matches though to be fair but Leicester will prove to be more of a challenge next week. We've actually been pretty lucky with the Premiership fixtures this year, most of our tough fixtures are spread out nicely.

Still, easy games or not you can't sniff at 8 goals scored and 0 goals conceded in two matches. ;D

I watched most of the football over the weekend, I thought Pogba was incredibly lucky not to be sent off and Swansea did well in the first half, could of been a different game had they not conceded just before half time but I think the result was inevitable.. I think swansea will struggle to stay up now they've sold their best player.

Chelsea performance was good.. excited for Bakayoko, looks like an decent prospect.. he needs time to adapt to the PL though as he did give a few silly fouls away.. Morata looked absolutely knackered after 60-65 minutes.. obviously still not fit.. but should of buried that chance at the start of the game.

Caught about 60 minutes of the City - Everton game.. both red cards were ridiculous - Bobby Madley, same prick who sent Pedro off in the community shield match for a yellow card tackle - perhaps he needs to go to Specsavers.

Incredibly lucky? Nope. That second challenge was a foul and never a yellow card. You seem to disagree with just about every single pundit that's commented on the matter. ;)

A tougher test for United on Saturday against The Foxes but we're playing at home and our confidence is up.

I think a big problem that Maureen had last season was getting the players into the habit of passing forwards instead of sideways and backwards, plus the ridiculous amount of injuries we had. The top two at the end of the season is definitely going to be the two Manchester clubs imo.

Nobody else doing predictions..?
