| An outstanding away performance from Manchester United, and a hopeless home one from Everton. United were top-notch in all areas of the pitch, and Everton, aside from a 15-minute spell after half-time, were outpassed, outplayed, and outclassed. Very disappointing for Roberto Martinez, but Louis van Gaal must be delighted: his team selection and tactics were spot-on. Smalling, Herrera, Schweinsteiger, Martial and Rooney were excellent, and their win was thoroughly deserved. | An outstanding away performance from Manchester United, and a hopeless home one from Everton.

Howard could done his teammate a favour by at least standing up and making Rooney find the corner, but he just sort of fell to the ground, and Rooney passed it beyond him.
