Manchester United eased the pressure on Louis van Gaal as they blew away Stoke with a fine display of ruthless attacking football in a 3-0 win at Old Trafford.
The announcement of Pep Guardiola's appointment at Manchester City, and a fruitless transfer deadline day, had led to more pessimism among United's long-suffering support before kick-off.
The United fans booed their team off following the last game here - a 1-0 defeat to Southampton.
But they had something to cheer about on Tuesday as United pummelled Stoke in their one of their best performances of the campaign.
Wayne Rooney moved to within five goals of Sir Bobby Charlton's all-time scoring record with his seventh goal in seven games and Jesse Lingard nodded in a fine ball from Cameron Borthwick-Jackson to put United ahead in the 14th minute.
The goal of the night belonged to the excellent Anthony Martial for his curler from the far corner.
