Manchester United
thrashed Everton 4-0 after scoring three goals in the final 10 minutes on a
miserable return to Old Trafford for Wayne Rooney in the Premier League on
Sunday.

United
was only leading through Antonio Valencia's 4th-minute strike when Rooney, the
former United captain, was substituted in the 82nd minute.
Henrikh
Mkhitaryan netted within a minute, Romelu Lukaku scored against his former club
in the 89th and Anthony Martial slotted in a penalty in the second minute of stoppage
time after Morgan Schneiderlin handled.
United
and Manchester City both have 13 points at the top of the table. The defeat
consigned Everton to a third consecutive league loss. Coupled with a Europa
League group-stage opening defeat to Atalanta on Thursday, Everton has conceded
12 goals without reply in losing its last four games in all competitions.
Rooney left United in the offseason with Lukaku heading in the opposite direction across northwest England.
