JOSHUA ZIRKZEE finally came good to get Ruben Amorim's revolution properly up and running.
The new boss bagged his first Premier League win as the Red Devils ran riot, with under-pressure striker Zirkzee netting twice as Manchester United delivered their biggest league victory of the season.
Yet home fans had wondered what Amorim (left) was doing starting with the big Dutchman.
He had scored only once in 18 games on his debut against Fulham in August - and Rasmus Hojlund had fired a brace against Bodo/Glimt on Thursday night.
But this was a third game in eight days and the first of nine in December, so the Portuguese was always going to rotate.
With Hojlund dropped to the bench, Zirkzee certainly repaid the faith shown in him by delivering an impressive display.
Before his well-taken double, he had produced some slick link-up play.
