The National’s Sport cover for the Monday, September 15 issue, featuring Angel di Maria and a resoundingly victorious Manchester United side.

United shook off the doldrums that have surrounded them since practically the beginning of the David Moyes era and came together as a fresh unit in a 4-0 demolition of Queens Park Rangers at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Richard Jolly, analysing the outcome, writes, "An era began in earnest at Old Trafford.

“The ‘Gaalacticos’, as Manchester United’s collection of stars have been branded, were unveiled and unleashed. An emphatic win came amid a celebratory air.

“After all the ignominies of the past 13 months, United had a day to enjoy.

“They now possess a team to savour.”
