Greenwood on the double as Man United hammer Bournemouth

MASON Greenwood capped another impressive performance with two superb goals to help Manchester United crush Bournemouth 5-2 in the Premier League yesterday and stretch their unbeaten run to 16 games in all competitions.

Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes added one each for United, who climbed into fourth place on 55 points, one more than Chelsea who were at home to Watford in a late game.

Bournemouth, who have now lost 17 of their last 22 league games, stayed 19th.

Junior Stanislas gave the visitors a 16th-minute lead but United hit back through Greenwood before Rashford converted a penalty and Martial fired into the top corner to give the home side a 3-1 halftime lead.

Josh King pulled one back for the visitors with a penalty shortly after the break but United came storming back again as 18-year-old Greenwood made it 4-2 with another clinical finish and Fernandes curled in a free kick on the hour.
