LIVERPOOL: Jose Mourinho’s disappointing end to 2017 was quickly forgotten as goals from Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard earned Manchester United an impressive 2-0 victory against Everton at Goodison Park on Monday. Martial capped a spell of United pressure early in the second half by shooting his side in front after Paul Pogba had found him in space 20 yards from goal. It was a much-improved second-half showing from United and one capped by a superb individual goal from Lingard that settled the outcome 10 minutes from time. Youngster Mason Holgate met an early Rooney corner and headed over as Everton built pressure on a United side that had ended 2017 with a whimper. But United was a far more dangerous proposition after the restart, creating a string of chances prior to their 56th-minute opening goal.
