MANCHESTER: Bruno Fernandes fired in a hat-trick in front of a raucous Old Trafford crowd as Manchester United thrashed Leeds United 5-1 to get their Premier League season off to a flying start on Saturday.

Paul Pogba also starred with four assists — one more than he managed in the whole of last season in the league — to help United run riot in front of their first full crowd in 17 months.
