Manchester United 2-0 Swansea: Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez goals give hosts routine victory

On days like this, all seems well in Jose Mourinho's world.

Manchester United played with a fluency and a spirit that suggests they are a lot closer to the end of the 'transition' he has spoken about than some may think.

They were two goals up inside 20 minutes and cruising. Romelu Lukaku reached a century of Premier League goals, Alexis Sanchez scored his second for United, Jesse Lingard excelled, and Paul Pogba gave a striking performance befitting a man who turned up with blue and blonde hair.
