That's all folks!
Full time 1-0
An early goal from Scott McTominay was enough. A United team that started brightly but were unable to get back to those heights in the second half. Marcus Rashford had one or two glimpses of promise but he could not extend the lead. Watford had some chances of their own. They can now focus on trying to get promotion from the Championship.
