And on that note we shall say farewell.
Here's the report if you missed it:
Another four Premier League games on Wednesday evening - had enough yet?
Here's what you can follow tomorrow, in July no less:
Yep Brighton are at Carrow Road for the lunchtime game on Saturday. Norwich don't quite need snookers just yet but the Seagulls can put them in a really tricky position back in baulk with a win there.
Brighton 0-3 Man Utd
Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton boss Graham Potter tells Sky Sports: "We played against a really good side tonight, Manchester United were the better team and they had some quality. Our response in the second half was really good and maybe deserved a goal but the better team won. I am proud of how the players stuck at it and kept going.
"We got killed on the counter-attack for the third goal but we had some good play but against United you are always on the stretch. It is a tough evening for us but one we will take a lot from and learn from it.
"We always look at ourselves to try and improve and they are as good as anyone we have played this year. It is hard to contain but a positive performance in the second half.
"We knew before the game where we are at and the fight we have got, that does not change anything. We go to Norwich to fight."
Brighton 0-3 Man Utd
Manchester United
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on BBC Radio 5 Live: "It's a joy to watch them when you see them express themselves like that.
"The confidence comes from perormances and knowing they've done the right things leading in to the restart. They worked hard during the lockdown and we know we have loads to play for.
"The third goal was a great team goal. To see so many players sprinting forward to get on the end of it was fantastic. A great finish by Bruno Fernandes.
"Paul Pogba was top. He got hold of the ball, sprayed it, won headers. He's just going to get better and better."
Brighton 0-3 Manchester United
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to BBC Sport: "They have reason to be confident because they are playing fantastically. There is quality in that team, our players are fit and we have competition for places now.
"We know Mason Greenwood can score goals like this but he is getting stronger, lockdown helped him. He had time to fill out and you can see the benefit from it. He will be exciting to follow.
"I've got more than one gamechanger, we have some top players and Bruno has come and been fantastic. He has brought that winning mentality with him, that 99% is not good enough - it has to be 100%."
Spanish La Liga
Speaking of fine players - Lionel Messi has just scored his 700th career goal.
(SEVEN HUNDRED).
Brighton 0-3 Manchester United
Manchester United
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to Sky Sports: "The boys played some exceptional stuff. Mason's first goal was brilliant and he played fantastically. He's a special kid, we know when he gets faced up he looks dangerous. His link up play was great today.
"He's got a knack of that, he can go inside or outside, he is developing into a fine player. We know we have pace and we want to counter quickly, it was a fantastic goal [the third goal], we are very happy with it.
"I don't care about making a statement, I know we are a good team. We will recover and then focus on the next one."
Kenny Kong: There has been glimpses of the Sir Alex era MUFC since the lockdown, barring the FA Cup game. Let's see if Ole can keep this style of play and form going into the next season. If he can and get the right players in, it's going to be intriguing.

From the get go Manchester United showed how sharp they were and wanted it. They were clinical. Brighton were very negative in the first half.
A wonderful Manchester United performance, individual good performances. They are looking very strong and going in the right direction.
Manchester United
Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes to Sky Sports: "The most important thing is the three points but we played well and the result was good. We didn't concede again which is important. David de Gea made two or three amazing saves, we are very happy.
"We knew that we needed to push forwards and to try and score from minute one. I was lucky with the first goal and the second goal was amazing, an amazing pass from Mason.
"We are fighting for a place in the Champions League and we know we can achieve this. I don't want to talk too much about me and Paul Pogba, we are happy to play together but I am happy to play with everyone. We can combine together, we have qualities, but we know that we have team-mates who can do well."
Bruno Fernandes has been directly involved in eight goals in his first eight league games for Man Utd (five goals, three assists) - only Robin van Persie has had more goal involvements (nine) after as many games at the start of his Premier League career with the club.
Brighton 0-3 Manchester United
Brighton were actually much, much better in that second half and would have got one back if it wasn't for David de Gea but Manchester United are starting to purr and Bruno Fernandes and Mason Greenwood were excellent.

Bruno Fernandes could have played 10 minutes and I would have given him man of the match. He is just so exquisite and it has been a privilege to watch him play. The difference he has made to this Manchester United team - unbelievable.
Brighton 0-3 Manchester United
Go on! Go for goal! Shouts someone from the Manchester United bench as Brandon Williams drives down the left. He's been positive since he came on but he passes inside and the chance is gone.
Brighton 0-3 Manchester United
I've just been reminded that I've forgotten to put how many minutes have gone in every entry, it's a bit late to start now but we're into the 90th...
Brighton 0-3 Manchester United
A lack of confidence? Brandon Williams' ball over the top sends Daniel James in beyond the Brighton defence, he should just run in and shoot but he hesitates, cuts inside and can only just squeeze off a weak effort. He then has another, better shot seconds later but Mat Ryan can pat it down.
Brighton 0-3 Manchester United
Unorthodox, Scott McTominay hits a shot on the bounce that Mat Ryan juggles. I thought he made a bit of a mess of that but in fact it took a whacking deflection just in front of him and he actually made a very good reaction save.
Credit where it's due.
Brighton 0-3 Manchester United
Aaron Mooy is on for Brighton and he hits a cracking ball over the top for Aaron Connolly to chase. He's one on one with Brandon Williams but the young defender does well to stay with him and then make a challenge.

Abdul Momodu: Greenwood is my MOTM. Fantastic footballer, quick feet. 18years?
AJ Vergette: What we’ve seen from Greenwood tonight is the edge between him and Dan James. Not only a man extremely gifted, but a man confident enough to play on strengths. A must for the next few starting XI’s
