    Louis van Gaal on Wayne Rooney's goal celebration: "In what a world we live that we are talking about such a thing - that a newspaper paid a lot for a video and I am answering questions about that. What is this world, twisted? I don't want to answer questions about such things."

    Darren, Durham: Getting slightly concerned as a Newcastle fan. We may well get drawn into the relegation fight. So poor at the moment. Can't see where the next point is coming from.

    Newcastle are 10 points above the relegation zone with nine games remaining. Still time to be sucked into a battle for survival?

    Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino: "We are disappointed because our performance today was very poor and we have to analyse why. After we conceded the first goal it seemed that the game was finished and we never found a way to damage Manchester United. We were never in the game."

    Everton boss Roberto Martinez: "We've been growing during the season to be in a position so that whatever changes you make they will ready to perform.

    Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney, speaking to Sky Sports: "That's the world we live in today. It's in my own home, it's not public, it's what friends do - they mess around in the house. It was a couple of mates in a private house, and somehow it's managed to get on the front page of a national newspaper. I've just been focussed on the game, it's more interesting for other people rather than for me. You've seen today, I've done a professional job and helped my team win 3-0."

    Everton goalscorer Romelu Lukaku: "Everyone was pumped up for this game and as soon as we came on the pitch I thought we would win. It was important to be 2-0 up, Newcastle are a good team going forward and as soon as we got the second we had control of the game."

    BBC summariser Robbie Savage at Old Trafford on BBC Radio 5 live

    "Manchester United blew Spurs away with front-foot football. You came into the game thinking Tottenham could get something but they have disappointed.

    "I think Spurs are out of the race now. Six points behind United and not playing well. I didn't think they would get in top four anyway but even more so on that performance. I said I think United would finish fifth but after today it is going to go down to the wire."

    Great win for Everton ahead of their Europa League trip to Ukraine next week. One win in six league games for Newcastle now.

    Substitute Ross Barkley puts the icing on Everton's cake as he races on to Christian Atsu pass and slots past te oncoming Tim Krul. Lovely finish from the young midfielder.

    Knockout display from Wayne Rooney and Manchester United. Louis van Gaal's side move two points behind second-placed neighbours Manchester City.

    Harry Kane has just had his first real sight at goal. He gets his shot away but David De Gea beats his close range effort away. Two additional minutes.

    BBC summariser Robbie Savage at Old Trafford on BBC Radio 5 live

    "Michael Carrick has been the difference today - forward thinking, forward passing. He set up Fellaini and scored his goal. A very, very good afternoon for Carrick, who would be one of the first names on the team sheet when he is fit."

    Big chance for Arouna Kone to make it 3-0 at Goodison but Tim Krul comes rushing off his line to frustrate the Everton striker. Kone should have done better.

    Another rare sighting at Old Trafford after Radamel Falcao and Emmanuel Adebayor. On comes Rafael for Michael Carrick.

  19. FIVE MINUTES TO GOpublished at 17:42 Greenwich Mean Time 15 March 2015

    Sounds as though Newcastle fans are far from happy. Total opposite at Old Trafford. Each touch by a player in a red shirt is being cheered. It's almost like the United of old.

    Ross Arnett:, external Everton have far from deserved their lead but Newcastle's few mistakes have been punished.

    David Penn:, external Newcastle, as usual, making poor opposition look like world beaters. And the captain sent off. No pressure though, eh Carver?

    David Ljunggren:, external The only good point about this humiliating Newcastle performance is that it cuts Carver's chances of getting the manager's job.
