Nine months after winning the FA cup, Manchester United began their title defense at home to championship side Reading. This fixture also saw the return of former United player Jaap Stam, who was now the manager of Reading. United had rested Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba for United's English League cup game against Hull City. Wayne Rooney captained a strong United side, Wayne Rooney looked to break Sir Bobby Charlton's record, Rooney with 248 goals just one behind the great legend. The game started off real well as Wayne Rooney scored the goal which brought him level with Sir Bobby Charlton, a landmark for the skipper. Anthony Martial later doubled the lead with a curling shot into the bottom corner. Marcus Rashford scored a brace in the second half as Manchester United won 4-0. Up next was a league cup semi-final against Hull City. United are to host Wigan Atheltic in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
