The Red Devils beat the Cherries with a fine display of attacking football. And both players were on target with Mason Greenwood scoring a brace and Anthony Martial also finding the net against Eddie Howe’s side.

Fernandes has had a transformative affect on United since joining from Sporting Lisbon back in the January transfer window.
And Rio Ferdinand praised the playmaker, saying: "The creativity this guy has, the way he takes risks, the way he passes, artistry - he's got everything.
"He's come in and he's said: 'I don't care how big the players are and the club, I am going to be the talisman, give me the ball and I will create' and that's what we've needed.
"We can see some clips here from the Brighton game and the ball comes into him here.
"Beautiful from [Nemanja] Matic here, look at the way the red arrows are flying forward there, all in transition, all with purpose and a fantastic finish there.
"Great ball from [Mason] Greenwood and this is what you want to see from your manager when watching games like this, you want to see that 'Yes! What we're doing on the training pitch is working', Carrick there with him as well, his coach.
"But this kid has been a breath of fresh air because we've been wanting someone like this to come through the door for ages."
While United were far from their best defensively, Solskjaer was positive after the whistle.
"Very, very happy with today - with the energy in the team and the goals we scored," he said.
"I think that was a game for the fans. That is definitely one the Stretford end would have enjoyed.
