Scott McTominay made history in the Premier League following Manchester United’s 6-2 thrashing of old foes Leeds United at Old Trafford on Sunday.
McTominay bagged a brace in the game and is the first player in Premier League history to score twice in the first three minutes of a match.
United are now unbeaten in their last 16 home league games against Leeds since a 0-1 loss in February 1981.

Bruno Fernandes lashed United three ahead on 20 minutes through a narrow gap from 12 yards.
Leeds conceded four goals for the fourth time already this season as Victor Lindelof converted at the far post in the 37th minute after Anthony Martial flicked on a corner.
Leeds pulled one back on 42 minutes through Liam Cooper’s header from their own corner.
