United comfortable as Gunners draw blank in first half

Manchester United were 2-0 ahead at the interval against Stoke at Old Trafford in one of the Premier League's six 3pm kick-offs.

Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring for the hosts after just three minutes, the winger hitting his 100th United goal with a trademark free-kick that evaded Thomas Sorensen despite the ball dipping under the bar in the centre of the goal.
