Overview

• First-half goals from Mason Mount and Benjamin Sesko sealed a 2-0 win, with Sesko finishing from a Diogo Dalot long throw for his second strike in as many games.
• A penalty initially awarded against Sesko for a high boot was overturned after a VAR review.
• Debutant Senne Lammens, a roughly £18m signing from Royal Antwerp, delivered United’s first clean sheet of the season as Amorim stayed non-committal on the goalkeeper pecking order.
• Mount said the squad is “100% behind” Amorim, reflecting player support after scrutiny of the manager’s position.
• The victory moves United up to eighth and makes it three straight home wins, with Liverpool away next after the international break.
