Man United pick up their third win in a row under Solskjaer as they cruise to a 4-1 home triumph against Bournemouth.

Any lingering hopes of a comeback from Howe’s men were ended by Lukaku, who found a way through for his side’s fourth of the contest just two minutes after being introduced form the bench.
