Martial 9/10, Rashford 8/10 as Man United rally to thrash Newcastle

Manchester United returned to winning ways in style as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side came from behind to record a 4-1 demolition of Newcastle United at Old Trafford.

Matty Longstaff's 17th-minute strike threatened to inflict more misery on Solskjaer's men, but the hosts hit back through Anthony Martial's strike before Mason Greenwood's Christmas cracker turned the game on its head and Marcus Rashford's powerful header made it 3-1. From then on it was all United, and Martial's wrapped up a Boxing Day gift for the Old Trafford faithful with an ice-cool chip from close-range.

Positives

The festivities are all about indulgence, and there was no questioning the hunger of the United front three.
