MAN OF THE MATCH?

Match summary

Manchester United became the first side to claim 600 victories in the Premier League thanks to a hard-fought 3-1 win at Middlesbrough.

Boro, with Steve Agnew in caretaker charge following the departure of Aitor Karankak, started brightly but Marouane Fellaini put United ahead with a close-range header on the half-hour mark.

Jesse Lingard then doubled United's lead on 62 minutes with a superb strike into the top corner from outside the area.

The home side pulled a goal back through substitute Rudy Gestede with 13 minutes left but despite piling on the pressure, United sealed the three points when Antonio Valencia tapped in after a Victor Valdes slip.

United move above Arsenal into fifth place while Middlesbrough remain in the bottom three, five points from safety.
