However, that decision didn't seem to deter the home side as they raced into a 4-0 lead before half-time.

Chris Smalling's header from a corner put them ahead midway through the first period, before Rooney's replacement Juan Mata finished off a superb team-move for 2-0.

Marcus Rashford's simple finish from another corner made it 3-0, and Paul Pogba scored his first goal for United with a fine header to make it four as the hosts dominated proceedings.
