Greenwood, 18, equalised for the hosts with a blistering finish and Marcus Rashford’s penalty put United ahead.

Anthony Martial extended the advantage before Joshua King’s penalty made it 3-2 — but Greenwood and Bruno Fernandes, with a stunning free-kick, scored further goals.

Arsenal dented Wolverhampton Wanderers’ hopes of a top-four finish as Bukayo Saka’s first Premier League goal helped them to an impressive 2-0 away victory.

The 18-year-old Saka’s controlled finish on the turn just before the end of a low-key first half put Arsenal ahead.

Alexandre Lacazette came off the bench late on to secure the points for Mikel Arteta’s side with a clinical angled finish.

Arsenal’s third successive league win moved them to within three points of sixth-placed Wolves whose eight-match unbeaten league run came to an end in disappointing fashion.

Jamie Vardy netted his 100th Premier League goal as Leicester City notched their first victory since resumption, beating Crystal Palace 3-0 to keep up their drive for Champions League football next season.

Earlier, Brighton & Hove Albion beat rock-bottom Norwich City 1-0 at Carrow Road as Leandro Trossard’s first-half goal lifted the south coast club nine points clear of the relegation zone.

It was Norwich’s fifth straight league defeat and Daniel Farke’s side have not scored since the season restarted last month.
