Swansea City 0-4 Manchester United; 5 Talking Points, Premier League 2017-18

3. Manchester United have found the one thing they lacked last season - ruthlessness; for now at least

Can his goals propel United upward and onward?

For large parts of the first half and even the second half, United looked like they were going to be afflicted by the same ailment that had derailed any momentum they'd been building up last season - play well until the final third, create a bucket-load of chances and finish none of them. But this time, they have Romelu Lukaku.

The big Belgian is often maligned for his inability to take on big sides, but there is no questioning his credentials against the Premier League's lesser-known sides - and he underlined them with his third goal of the season (in two matches, of course). His hold-up play has been excellent so far and Mata, Mkhitaryan, Pogba, and Rashford seemed to enjoy bouncing the ball off him and running into space.

His ruthlessness in front of goal is promising, and United as a collective unit seem to have gotten out of their shell and have relearned how to kill-off teams with the swagger of the fabled Ferguson teams of yore. Like Thierry Henry said, "If you go 1-0 down against this team, they are going to punish you."

How long this will last is anybody's guess, but boy are they a joy to behold at the moment.

Oh, and Tony Martial seems to be Mourinho's answer to Fergie's Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
