Anthony Martial, who will reach the 200 games record milestone soon, scored the third goal of the match for United. Mason Greenwood then came in from the bench to add a lovely fourth goal to the United’s tally.
Norwich City’s best chance of scoring came to midfielder Todd Cantwell but his low curler shot was kept out by a fantastic save from David de Gea.
With the win, Manchester United now move back to the fifth place while Norwich City remain at the rock bottom of the points tally, as many as seven points away from safe zone despite playing a match more than the three teams above them.
