Manchester United 3 - 0 Bournemouth
Manchester United stretched the winning run in all competitions to six games with a comfortable victory over Bournemouth.
Casemiro latched onto a Christian Eriksen free-kick with a beautifully cushioned volley to put the Red Devils ahead half way through the first half.
We doubled our lead four minutes into the second period as Shaw, playing in his more accustomed left-back role again, swept home an Alejandro Garnacho cut-back to complete a beautiful free-flowing move.
Marcus Rashford then rounded off the scoring, tapping into an empty net after a Bruno Fernandes pass, to score in three successive Old Trafford league games for the first time.
Reaction
Luke Shaw told the media: “It was a really good result. At times we got a bit sloppy and conceded chances but David De Gea was amazing and made a number of really good saves to keep that clean sheet and an important three points which we needed.
“I’ll play wherever the team needs me or the manager wants me. Back to left-back tonight and delighted to get on the score sheet. I don’t get many."
Victor Lindelof also gave his thoughts via United's social media platforms.
A good night for our duo in central defence! ⛔️@VLindelof 🤜🤛 @HarryMaguire93 #MUFC || #MUNBOU

Casemiro was named Player of the Match and this fan partially disagreed with that announcement. He said: "It should have been Luke Shaw. He had a fantastic performance, but I'm not disappointed with Casemiro. It's just that Shaw truly deserved this one."
