Man Utd vs Bournemouth highlights: Mason Greenwood goals help Red Devils push for top four  

Manchester United were in for a scare on Saturday when Junior Stanislas opened the scoring with a dazzling piece of skill to nutmeg Harry Maguire before beating David de Gea at his near post. However, the first of the Mason Greenwood goals, a thumping left-foot strike, restored parity for Solskjaer's side. A handball in the box meant Marcus Rashford put the Red Devils in front, while Anthony Martial scored a blinder from the edge of the box to put Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side 3-1 ahead at half-time.

However, the second half started on the worst possible note for Man United and Eric Bailly, with the Ivorian's handball inside the box handing a penalty to Eddie Howe's side. Josh King scored against his former club to reduce the deficit. However the second of the Mason Greenwood goals, this time from his right foot, helped restore Manchester United's two-goal advantage. Bruno Fernandes then scored an incredible free-kick from the edge of the box, in what was one of the top moments from the Man United vs Bournemouth clash on Saturday.
