Man-U ‘lets horses run’

MANCHESTER United netted four goals for the second consecutive week in the English Premier League to rout Swansea City 4-0 yesterday and ensure their highest-scoring season start for 110 years.

After Eric Bailly opened the scoring, Romelu Lukaku, Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial smashed in three between the 80th and 84th minutes.

United manager Jose Mourinho said he “let the horses run freely” but his old foe Arsene Wenger was frustrated after his Arsenal thoroughbreds were shackled in a 1-0 defeat at Stoke City.

Socceroos gloveman Mat Ryan’s tough start to life in the top flight continued when Shinji Okazaki struck early and Harry Maguire netted a header as Leicester City beat Brighton 2-0 at home.
