Mason Greenwood rounded off the afternoon with a piercing left-footed strike which also garnered praise from Rashford after the game.

“What a finish @AnthonyMartial [star-struck emoji] @B_Fernandes8 congrats on your first goal my friend [red heart emoji],” Rashford tweeted.

Not to miss out his other strike partner, he then added: “@masongreenwood [heart-shaped eyes emoji].”

Luke Shaw warns Chelsea

Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw has warned Chelsea they will not stop hunting them down in the race for the top four.

United closed the gap on the Blues to just three points following the 3-0 win against Watford.

He told Sky Sports: “We got what we needed and that was three points. Let’s keep pushing.

“The most important thing is we closed the gap to Chelsea.

“This club is known for playing in the big competitions. We all miss the Champions League nights so much, that is what we want next season.

“We need to fight and earn it.”
