Manchester United continued to stake their place as serious Premier League title contenders as they secured a second consecutive 4-0 win of the season away at Swansea City.

Goals from Eric Bailly, Romelu Lukaku, Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial gave José Mourinho's side another emphatic victory to kickstart the season as the top-flight's pace-setters.

Paul Clement's side improved in the second period with chances for Tammy Abraham but three goals in four minutes from Lukaku, Pogba and Martial secured United's second straight 4-0 victory.

Both teams start off brightly

The Red Devils headed to South Wales top of the table and looking to continue their fantastic form from the the previous week, but both sides made a good start to the game.

The Swans clattered the woodwork inside the first three minutes when Jordan Ayew whipped a ball into the mixer which caught David De Gea out, but the 'keeper was saved by the crossbar.

​It was then the turn of United to come forward and clatter the bar. Juan Mata curled a free-kick into the area which found the head of Jones, but his effort came back off the woodwork.

The half went quiet as it came towards its end, but Rashford was given a golden opportunity in the 36th minute.

An awful header from Alfie Mawson put Rashford clean through on goal, however the teenager decided to try a chip which went straight into the arms of Łukasz Fabiański.

​Bailly in the right place at the right time

It looked like both sides would be heading into the break goalless, however United managed to put themselves ahead on the cusp of the half-time.

Clement's side came out for the second period looking brighter. They dominated the early proceedings of the half and Abraham came close just after the hour mark.

Tom Carroll did well to cross the ball into the box which caught Jones and Bailly out. Abraham had plenty of space but couldn't direct his header on target from a good position.
