Comments:
Bruno Fernandes became the first player to score a hat-trick for Manchester United in their opening game of a league season since Lou Macari in a 4-1 win at Birmingham City in League Division One in 1977. This was the Red Devils' biggest win in an opening game of a league season since a 5-1 victory against Fulham in the Premier League in 2006. United had now scored 40 goals in their last 14 home games in the Premier League.1 Leeds United
