Champions Manchester United rediscovered a touch of their old swagger to beat West Bromwich Albion 3-0 on Saturday and record back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since December.
Phil Jones headed home a Robin van Persie free kick in the first half, Wayne Rooney finished a sweeping passing move with another header after the break and Danny Welbeck added a third to secure the points against a woeful West Brom side.
United, whose difficult season was compounded by a demoralising Champions League defeat to Olympiakos in their last outing, moved up to sixth in the table with 48 points while West Brom stay one place above the relegation zone.
