The striker stroked us ahead from the penalty spot shortly before the half-hour mark, before doubling the lead shortly after the interval with a superb header.
Haaland then set up Phil Foden to add a deserved third goal against the Red Devils with ten minutes left to play.
The talisman almost had a hat-trick, but his clever chipped effort was expertly saved by goalkeeper Andre Onana.
Our number nine was left impressed with the display. He said:
“Amazing. Fantastic win. The game was incredible today, the whole team and everything.
“I felt it a little bit, pressure for the penalty. I had the pressure and I scored and it was a fantastic feeling.
“It was a nice celebration, for both of them. It was a nice game.
“It was an incredible save right before the half time. He did another fantastic save in the second half when I chipped it, he saved it with his head.
“It is what it is. We won.”
