Manchester United returned to Premier League action with a crucial clash against Chelsea at Old Trafford - and secured the three points with a convincing win.

Jose Mourinho was reunited with his former club for the third time this season and scored his first win against Antonio Conte in England.

Goals from Ander Herrera and Marcus Rashford secured an impressive 2-0 win for the Reds.

Goalkeeper David De Gea returned to the line up but there was no Wayne Rooney. Striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic started on the bench, while Anthony Martial missed out entirely.

Juan Mata, Chris Smalling and Phil Jones remain out with long term injuries - Mata has been ruled out for the rest of the season.

United won away at Sunderland in the previous Premier League outing but suffered familiar struggles against Anderlecht on Thursday, drawing 1-1 in the first leg of the Europa League quarter final.
