“With that second goal in the second half, I think we killed the game and, from that moment, we were in control,” he said. “We knew that it would be difficult. It was hard but we started really well.

Mourinho made six changes to the team that lost at Newcastle United last weekend, with Paul Pogba totally missing out due to an illness.

It was the third time both sides were meeting this season, with the visitors already beaten by their hosts.

The Terriers started the brightest, but it was United who raced to an early lead after Lukaku latched on to a Juan Mata through ball to put his side ahead after just three minutes.

The home side were better and more confident, as they dominated possession but were unable really test Sergio Romero in goal for United.

Just before the break, Mata doubled United’s advantage after he rounded the goalkeeper, following an excellent play from the right by Ashley Young.

However, his joy was short lived, as his goal was ruled out by the VAR for offside with United going into the break with a marrow advantage.

The home side continued from where they stopped in the first half, dominant on the ball, as United struggled all through the game.

But ten minutes after the restart, United finally doubled their lead, Lukaku again, who put through by Alexis Sanchez following a brilliant counter attacking move by United, and the Belgian calmly tucked home his second of the game.

No disallowing that one! 🤷‍♂️
