                                                       Ashley Young

This is an astonishing win for United and it shows how capable their young guns are. United had the luxury of having Ryan Giggs, Ferdinand, Berbatov, Hernandez and Park Ji Sung among the substitute and they managed to win with 6 goals margin over one of the biggest team in Premier League. 

It is also the first time United have scored 8 in a single match since 1999. It was Arsenal's worst ever defeat against United and the first time they have conceded eight in a league game since 1896.

Enjoy the pictures from the match from this post.

As a loyal Manchester United fan, it is really good to see Manchester United kick off their campaign by a win at West Brom as they away form last season was really bad.

Hope for another win next week at Old Trafford vs Tottenham!
