Manchester United 4-1 Newcastle PLAYER RATINGS: Paul Pogba made a superb return from injury but Javier Manquillo had a shocker

Paul Pogba returned from injury to inspire Manchester United to a convincing win over Newcastle at Old Trafford.

The France midfielder, fit again after a two-month absence, scored and set up another goal as United replied to Dwight Gayle's early strike to keep themselves eight points behind Premier League leaders Manchester City.

Pogba created the equaliser for Anthony Martial before Chris Smalling put the hosts ahead. Pogba then increased the advantage and Romelu Lukaku made victory certain by ending his barren run.
