Juan Mata was the hero as Manchester United extended their winning run to four games.
The Spaniard stepped up to whip home a stunning free-kick in the closing stages at Old Trafford, helping Louis van Gaal's men to a hard-earned win over Watford.
The away side enjoyed plenty of the ball throughout and had the better of the chances for much of the match.
But Odion Ighalo did not have his shooting boots on, allowing United to secure maximum points with his moment of genius.
De Gea showed his worth once more
Man United fans dare not think where they would be this season had David de Geajoined Real Madrid on deadline day last summer.
Here, he made key saves yet again to deny Ighalo and proved his enduring worth.
Even then, United lived dangerously on occasion, not least when Watford defender Sebastian Prodl headed wide from no more than three yards.
How Watford would live to rue those chances.
