Manchester United 3-0 Ipswich Town: Rooney, Pereira & Martial on target in comfortable win

Manchester United 3-0 Ipswich Town: Rooney, Pereira & Martial on target in comfortable win
The England international striker scored in the first-half before the 19-year-old Belgian netted his first goal for the club, with the Frenchman rounding off the scoring

Andreas Pereira marked his first start with a goal as Manchester United beat Ipswich Town 3-0 in the League Cup third round.

The highly-rated Brazilian's second-half free-kick was sandwiched by goals from Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial as United put in a professional performance at Old Trafford.

Perhaps remembering the disappointment of last season, when his side were embarrassed 4-0 at MK Dons in the League Cup second round, Louis van Gaal chose a strong XI featuring the likes of Rooney and Bastian Schweinsteiger.

The move paid quick dividends, too, as the previously out-of-form Rooney netted in the 23rd minute, his first goal in the competition since the 2010 final against Aston Villa.
