And with leaders Manchester City surprisingly held at Burnley, United cut City’s lead from 16 to 13 points.
It was a satisfactory performance from United – nothing more than that – as they bounced back from the midweek defeat at Tottenham.
And Reds’ goalkeeper David De Gea, making his 300th appearance for the Reds, could not have had an easier ride as he didn’t have a shot to save.
