SWANSEA 0-4 MANCHESTER UNITED: FIVE THINGS WE LEARNED FROM THE LIBERTY STADIUM
Eric Bailly is Jose Mourinho's best signing
Manchester United have signed Paul Pogba, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Romelu Lukaku in the past year.
But Eric Bailly is the best piece of business they have done under Jose Mourinho.
The Ivory Coast international was terrific at the back, keeping Tammy Abraham quiet, and his goal capped off an impressive display.
Swansea should be just fine
Last year, Swansea managed to escape relegation from the Premier League by the skin of their teeth.
But they already look a lot more solid at the back this season.
Though they lost by some margin in the end, there was enough evidence to suggest Paul Clement's side should be just fine.
Marcus Rashford is better than Tammy Abraham
At least on this showing.
Though neither player had the game of their lives, Marcus Rashford was alot better than his Swansea counterpart, looking lively throughout.
Bailly and Phil Jones easily handled Abraham, who must prove his worth to parent club Chelsea if he is to have a successful career at Stamford Bridge.
Romelu Lukaku and Paul Pogba are a dream duo
Lukaku and Pogba are close friends off the pitch and have promised to bring success to Manchester United.
And they may just be true to their word.
Both players enjoyed a good afternoon, finding the net. But there is no doubt they have the potential to inspire Mourinho's side to title glory.

Paul Pogba scored again for Manchester United
Anthony Martial deserves to start
It appears Mourinho's tough-love approach with Martial is paying dividends.
Against West Ham last week and Swansea today, the France international found himself on the bench.
But, despite that, he popped up with a goal in both games. He definitely deserves to start against Leicester.
