Scott McTominay and Mason Greenwood propelled Manchester United to their first standard win of the Ralf Rangnick period.
The previous, who looked the sort of all-activity focal midfielder one may connect with a high-squeezing group, opened the scoring with a brilliant completion from right fresh inside ten minutes before Ben Mee avoided into his own net after a Jadon Sancho shot.
While Greenwood didn't get on the scoresheet, the forward peered open to playing out wide behind both Cristiano Ronaldo and Edinson Cavani, dropping profound to dodge his markers and causing all ways of issues.
Following one more McTominay shot, Ronaldo took advantage of a vacant net ten minutes before half-time, in spite of the fact that Aaron Lennon's speedy answer removed the shine from what was a generally deadly first-half. From there, while Sean Dyche's side was serious, the game to a great extent flamed out as United contained them no sweat.
This was a long way from United at their best – whatever that might be – however is the sort of routine presentation many would have expected against both Norwich City and Newcastle.
That, if nothing else, should be some sort of progress.
