Manchester United were in irresistible form again today as they thrashed Swansea City 4-0 this afternoon at the Liberty Stadium to remain on top of the Premier League with two wins from two.
Eric Bailly scored his first goal for the club just before half time, then Romelu Lukaku, Paul Pogba, and Anthony Martial added the gloss to the scoreline late on in the second half, with Martial's cameo being a particular highlight.
Although pundits and fans alike were full of praise for United when they beat West Ham last week, Steven Gerrard was jokingly asked by Jake Humphrey's on BT Sport how he felt about their cracking their start to the season...
His response is the reaction of a Liverpool fan who has heard one too many superlatives applied to United over the past week.
"Yeah I'm buzzing for them ?."

Although pundits are supposed to always be balanced when it comes to their analysis, Gerrard's love of Liverpool will never leave him when it comes to United, and he was keen to show that no amount of time will see him enjoy their success.
However, it wasn't all disdain from Gerrard, he expects United to be challenging for the title if they continue with this kind of form and was even full of praise for manager Jose Mourinho.

Gerrard has never been shy to hide his admiration for Jose Mourinho even though he rejected the Portuguese's overtures in 2006 when he tried to sign the Englishman during his first spell in charge of Chelsea.
Interestingly as Jake Humphrey's said, it is the first time Manchester United have won 4-0 in successive games for the first time in 110 years, their rivals had better take note.
