But here's the thing. When he gets the move right, he is unstoppable. And the Brazilian's stunning finish to settle any worries early in the second-half was the showpiece of this mainly rousing Manchester United response to the weekend humiliation.

And his 26th goal of the season was season was a worth thousand words.
