A Nathaniel Mendez-Laing double proved decisive in a showing that will leave Ole Gunnar Solskjær in no doubt about the scale of the task ahead of him.

At the centre of it all was the oft-maligned Paul Pogba. Cardiff's second goal was a snapshot of the horrendous organisation issues which have haunted Old Trafford this season as the French midfielder failed to track his runner, Chris Smalling inexplicably bit in and Manchester United's full-backs were found wanting.
