Manchester United moved within four points of the Premier League's top four on Sunday as they comfortably dispatched 10-man Sunderland 3-0 at the Stadium of Light.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic opened the scoring in the first half before Sebastian Larsson received a controversial red card shortly before half-time.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan netted their second from the restart without Sunderland even touching the ball, and Marcus Rashford wrapped things up late on in a match in which United never had to get out of second gear.
United—who started with Sergio Romero in place of David De Gea because of an unspecified problem—controlled the opening exchanges and had plenty of possession in the hosts' half without particularly threatening.
