Manchester United ran out comfortable winners for the second weekend running after beating Swansea City 4-0 on Saturday.
The likes of Paul Pogba, Romelu Lukaku and Anthony Martial all capitalised on some ragged defending - and their own scintillating attacking play.
But Marcus Rashford - starting his second consecutive game on the left-wing - enjoyed a tougher afternoon.

Swansea vs Manchester United player ratings Federico Fernández - 6 Came up with a crucial defensive header to deny Romelu Lukaku what would’ve been an almost-certain goal.

Swansea vs Manchester United player ratings Kyle Bartley - 4 Missed the target with two good headed opportunities in the first half.
Swansea vs Manchester United player ratings Alfie Mawson - 5 Almost gifted Marcus Rashford the opener in the first half but was let off the hook by a poor finish.
Swansea vs Manchester United player ratings Roque Mesa - 5 A decent debut but it will take him a while to adapt to the frantic pace of the Premier League.
Swansea vs Manchester United player ratings Kyle Naughton - 5 Played at wing-back in a new Swansea formation but didn’t have many opportunities to get forward.
Swansea vs Manchester United player ratings Leroy Fer - 5 Unspectacular in the middle of the park.
Swansea vs Manchester United player ratings Tom Carroll - 6 Some top-class set pieces and has the right to be annoyed at his teammates for not converting.
Swansea vs Manchester United player ratings Martin Olsson - 5 Like Naughton, couldn’t get forward as much as he would’ve liked as United dominated possession for the majority of the match.
Swansea vs Manchester United player ratings Tammy Abraham - 5 Quiet and missed his one good chance with a header on the hour mark.
Swansea vs Manchester United player ratings Jordan Ayew - 7 Swansea’s most threatening attacker and might’ve had a couple of assists to his name if Tammy Abraham had taken a few more risks.
Swansea vs Manchester United player ratings David De Gea - 6 Relatively untested but almost caught out by Ayew mishit early on.

Swansea vs Manchester United player ratings Antonio Valencia - 7 Another dependable performance from the Premier League’s best right-back.
Swansea vs Manchester United player ratings Phil Jones - 8 Looks to be turning into the defender Sir Alex Ferguson hoped he would be. Another serene display at centre half.

Swansea vs Manchester United player ratings Eric Bailly - 7 A few clumsy moments at the back but nothing terminal and was alert to score the opening goal.
Swansea vs Manchester United player ratings Daley Blind - 7 A solid stand-in at left-back but nowhere near as good going forward as his right-sided counterpart.
Swansea vs Manchester United player ratings Paul Pogba - 8 Lost his rag a little in the first half and was perhaps lucky not to be sent off but played a vital role in three of United’s four goals.
Swansea vs Manchester United player ratings Nemanja Matic - 7 Mr Reliable at the base of United’s midfield.
Swansea vs Manchester United player ratings Juan Mata - 6 Substituted with 25 minutes to go and was probably United’s least effective front-six player on the day.

Swansea vs Manchester United player ratings Henrikh Mkhitaryan - 8 Two assists for a second week in a row.
Swansea vs Manchester United player ratings Romelu Lukaku - 7 Did nothing for 80 minutes before wrapping the game up with a clinical left-footed finish.

Swansea vs Manchester United player ratings Marcus Rashford - 7 Was United’s brightest spark in the first half but didn’t have the same impact after the break.

The young Englishman was booed enthusiastically by Swansea fans after winning a penalty in the corresponding fixture at Old Trafford last season.
As a result, Rashford tried his best to get his own back and went for the spectacular , but had three relatively tame shots saved comfortably by Lukas Fabianski before being substituted for Martial.
While defending his young forward - saying he may have cashed in the same way his teammates did had he still been on the pitch in the dying minutes - Mourinho urged Rashford to embrace the booing in future.
"I think he has to learn how to enjoy it," Mourinho said.
"If he was a bad player, nobody would try to provoke him. They see the speed, the danger, and probably they think they can affect him.
"I think if he was on the bench and if he comes on for the last 15 or 20 minutes when the space is there, I think he would do the same things as the other guys did.
"I think he has to adapt to it. He is an English kid, a young kid who plays for their national team. Oh, I'm sorry, they are Welsh!"
