Overview

• Mason Mount opened the scoring inside eight minutes before Benjamin Sesko struck from a Diogo Dalot long throw for his first Old Trafford goal and second in as many games.
• Referee Stuart Attwell’s first-half penalty award for a Sesko high boot was overturned after a VAR review showed no contact.
• Senne Lammens, signed from Royal Antwerp on deadline day, started for the first time and kept United’s first clean sheet of the season.
• Ruben Amorim said Lammens had been eased in because Altay Bayindir was starting and the new keeper needed to adapt to the club’s demands, while remaining non-committal on a permanent No 1.
• Mason Mount declared the squad “100% behind” Amorim; the win makes it three straight at Old Trafford, lifts United into the top half, and sets up a post-break trip to Liverpool with scrutiny on consistency.
