Premier League 2 | Old Trafford | Scorers: Chong 24, Dearnley 44, Boonen 55, Riley 59
Manchester United needed to avoid defeat to Sunderland to stave off relegation from Premier League 2 and racked up a 4-0 triumph at Old Trafford to raise hopes of climbing the table at this late stage of the campaign.
In front of an appreciative Old Trafford crowd, Tahith Chong scored the first and set up the second, for Zak Dearnley, to register a commanding half-time lead. Two goals in quick succession, by Indy Boonen and skipper Joe Riley, doubled that advantage in the hosts' biggest win of the season.
