Marcelo Bielsa's side stamped their authority on the early standings as they coasted past Frank Lampard's Derby on their first away trip of the campaign.

The Whites led within five minutes thanks to Mateusz Klich's 20-yard strike, before the Rams levelled just seven minutes later through a fierce Tom Lawrence free-kick.

United soon restored their advantage as Kemar Roofe notched his first goals of the season. Roofe converted a swooping header from a Barry Douglas delivery, before doubling his tally with a left-footed finish in to the roof of the net, evading the outstretched Scott Carson on the hour mark.

Gjanni Alioski capped an eye-catching performance with a fourth, powering home a header, to condemn Lampard to an unwelcome first home defeat.
