Greenwood picks the ball up on turns away from Diego Rico and drives a thunderous shot into the back of the net before Bruno Fernandes scored further goals for Manchester United with a lovely free-kick.

Manchester United turned on the style at Old Trafford as they scored more than four goals in a Premier League home match since a 5-0 victory against Wigan Athletic on 26 December 2011.

Having collected 21 points from the past 27 on offer, Solskjaer’s in-form side are unbeaten in nine top-flight games.

In contrast, Bournemouth remain 19th and in serious relegation trouble after a fifth straight league defeat.
