The current crop of Manchester United players scored three goals the Busby Babes would have been proud of as the Reds sealed an impressive 3-0 win over visitors Stoke City. On a night when the club remembered the Munich Air Disaster of 1958 with various tributes, Louis van Gaal's men - wearing black armbands - produced a suitably exciting performance. A couple of fine first-half finishes, from Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial, put United in the driving seat at the break, before Wayne Rooney added an excellent third soon after the restart and edged just five goals behind Sir Bobby Charlton’s long-standing club record. But it takes more than just breaking goal records to make a great team - it takes putting the ball in the back of the net, and there seems to be a lot of that recently.
