Manchester United's emphatic 4-1 win over Newcastle United was a reminder of the great start we had this season and the rhythm of exciting games. Here are 10 things we loved from that game.

1. The dream start of Martial, Rashford and Lukaku. I loved it. And not just because we've wanted to have this line-up and the individual strengths of the players was amazing and beautiful to watch. 2. Speaking of beautiful, man, did we miss the fluidity of midfield that Pogba reinstated upon his return? He was edging between defense and attack; but the threat was always there. It was great to feel that we were in the driving seat of the game. 3. Anthony Martial, given a starting place on the left did not disappoint. He was drawing 2-3 players and making it seem effortless to attack from that flank... 4. How Marcus Rashford grew into his new role on the right - and his performance in the second half was testament to his football genius and ability to adjust. 5. And the genius; we cannot give enough platitudes to Nemanja Matic who withstood the initial Newcastle attack to steady the ship and control the midfield. This guys shows up. 6. But Mata showed up in his former position (thanks Mourinho for dropping Mikhi who was in poor form); and considering how long he's been conditioned to become an attacking-defending winger, he turned up and did his job. 7. 77th Minute saw the old roar blast across Old Trafford as Zlatan returned... and he was still scissoring his way across the team. Man, this guy makes me feel like I have not lived half my life. What inspiration. We love you, Z. 8. And who did not feel a rush of relief when Lukaku scored? Ehe! Even Mourinho's mask dropped and you could see the relief. It's great to see Lukaku back to his scoring ways. That was a many 7-goal drought but it's over now. 9. Aaaaargh, that first ever Premier League goal scored at OT... First, can we applaud David De Gea and the defense for holding on and keeping such a record. Second; we start a new record-making schedule next week. So, we keep marching on. 10. Victor Lindelof was playing like those disaster waiting to happen types in the first quarter... however, you have to admit he righted himself and became steady. It must be nervy playing at OT and being attribute to a goal against the team... it must be something awful. He remains strong, in more ways than one. 10.1 Speaking of strength, Ashley Young... whatever you say, he is the real deal. Gosh, don't you wish we had 'discovered' him a couple of years back?! -- I loved the return of Club football. I loved the return of the team to 4 goals and I loved so much everything that happened on Saturday. What about you?
