| Another win for United, although they made hard work of it. West Brom came for a 0-0, and defended stoutly for 50 minutes, but once Lingard scored they found it difficult to revert from their defensive shape. Although Berahino should have made it 1-1 when he missed a sitter from six yards. | Another win for United, although they made hard work of it.

| Not bad from United: they had all the ball, and it was comfortable in the end, but these issues remain. Good game from Jesse Lingard, though: he’ll want to keep his place against Watford in two weeks. | Not bad from United: they had all the ball, and it was comfortable in the end, but these issues remain.

| Rooney is hooked for Ander Herrera. Davie Provan gives Rooney “six out of 10”. That’s about right, probably. | Rooney is hooked for Ander Herrera. Davie Provan gives Rooney “six out of 10”. That’s about right, probably. |
