Manchester United have returned from the international break in ominous form in the Premier League ahead of Albion's trip to Old Trafford next Saturday.

Fit-again Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku were on the scoresheet for Jose Mourinho's side as they hammered Newcastle 4-1 tonight to stretch their unbeaten home run to 38 matches.

Dwight Gayle gave Newcastle a surprise early lead but it was all downhill for them after that.

Headers by Anthony Martial (36) and Chris Smalling just before half-time put United in command.

Pogba celebrated his comeback from injury with a tap-in (54) and Lukaku ended a mini-drought with his 12th of the season (70).

Zlatan Ibrahimovic also made his return from long-term injury as a late substitute.

United go to Basel in the Champions League on Wednesday, needing a point to qualify for the knockout stages.

The top seven have opened a seven-point gap over Albion in eighth after comfortable home wins for Arsenal against Spurs in the North London derby, Liverpool over Southampton and Burnley against Swansea.

Results helped the aim of survival. Bournemouth, who thrashed Huddersfield 4-0, were the only team below the Seagulls in the table to win.
