4 wins in a row for Manchester United

Manchester United were looking to regain their winning form as they faced another tough away test at the Hawthorns. They faced a strong West Brom side who had recently beaten Swansea at home with their inform striker Salomon Rondon scoring a hatrick of headers in the mid gameweek.
United on the other hand came in with a recent away win at Palace, meaning their away form was far much better than their home form. Eric Bailly and Henrikh Mkhitaryan were sidelined for this match but Chris Smalling was named on the bench for the Red Devils in an intriguing match which also saw familiar faces including Darren Fletcher and Ben Forster.
As usual, David De Gea was in goal, Jones and Rojo at the back, Valencia had returned at rightback, Darmian at left back, Carrick and Herrera in the middle, Pogba Rooney and Lingard in attack and Zlatan Ibrahimovic upfront.
The game started of well for United as Lingard's cross was found bt Zlatan Ibrahimovic who headed it past Foster and gave United the lead.
Rooney's thunderbolt shot was later saved by Foster who tipped it onto the crossbar.
Salomon Rondon on the other side had a chance but misplaced his header.
Later Zlatan Ibrahimovic's shot deflected off McAuely and went into the net as United took a 2-0 lead thanks to courtesy of Zlatan who had now scored 16 goals for the Red Devils in all competitions, his 11th Premier league goal this season, two behind leader Diego Costa.
United finished the game with a comfortable 2-0 win and were now four points off the top 4.
Up next was a Boxing day game at home to Sunderland.
