Seconds later Javier Mascherano was sent off for a professional foul on Garry Rodrigues, but Munir doubled the lead with a chip soon after the break.

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal admitted after the 1-1 draw at Sunderland that a return of a single point from his first two Premier League matches in charge is not acceptable.

Manchester United will have to pay a British record transfer fee to sign winger Angel Di Maria from Real Madrid. Real coach Carlo Ancelotti revealed Di Maria, 26, has said goodbye to his team-mates ahead of an impending move. United have been quoted £75m for the Argentine, although they do not expect the final figure to be so high. However, senior club sources say the fee will definitely eclipse the £50m Chelsea paid Liverpool for striker Fernando Torres in 2011. The Red Devils last broke the British transfer record when they paid Leeds £29.1m for Rio Ferdinand in 2002. Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira will stay at the Bernabeu this season, according to coach Carlo Ancelotti. The German World Cup winner, 27, has been linked with moves to Arsenal or Bayern Munich after Ancelotti said he had rejected a new contract.
