Manchester United have defeated Turkish side Fenerbahce 4-1 at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils got off to a perfect Start, and took the lead 31 minutes into the first half when they were deservedly awarded a penalty and Paul Pogba sent the goalie the wrong way and swept low and hard into the corner. Few minutes later and came the 2nd penalty for the hosts, and this time Anthony Martial stepped up and slammed the spot kick home.

Just before the interval, Pogba scored his 2nd of the night as he found the back of the net with a superb curling strike.

The hosts seemed to be unstoppable and extended their lead in the 48th minute when Jesse Lingard was picked out by Wayne Rooney and fired the ball into the bottom corner from 20 yards.

There was one more Goal, and it was for Fenerbahce, as Dutch Striker Robin van Persie reduced the deficit to 4-1 for the visitors as he slotted home a pinpoint cross.
