Lingard has a second and United a fifth. , the visitors were playing keep ball. And then Pogba decided to step it up, playing in Lingard to run into the box and slot home. First time Man Utd have scored five goals since the Fergie days.

Incredibly, since United last scored five times in a single game, noisy neighbours City had managed the feat on 21 occasions. The task Solskjaer had was not meant to be easy, but based on today’s performance, they’ve found a blueprint for success once more.
