Bruno Fernandes, Martial star as Man Utd put three past Watford on Old Trafford return

Manchester United cruised to a 3-0 victory over Watford at Old Trafford on Sunday.

New-boy Bruno Fernandes scored his first goal for the club after he earned himself a penalty from a jinky run into the box, where he was brought down by Ben Foster.

Anthony Martial made three from his last three appearances with a cute finish early in the second-half.

The game was put to bed when Mason Greenwood hammered home United's third.

The win means United maintained their three-point gap to fourth-placed Chelsea.

Speaking after the game, Solskjaer said: "We got what we needed and that was three points. Let's keep pushing. The most important thing is we closed the gap to Chelsea

"This club is known for playing in the big competitions. We all miss the Champions League nights so much, that is what we want next season. We need to fight and earn it."
