United Review: Reds hold on for vital win

 Manchester United 1 - 0 West Ham United

What were your thoughts as United held on for a vital Premier League win.

Marcus Rashford's 100th Manchester United goal was enough to beat West Ham United and provide a fitting tribute to a special 85th anniversary for the Old Trafford club.

The 24-year-old powered home a firm header seven minutes from the break after Christian Eriksen had curled over a superb far-post cross, making Rashford the 22nd United player to reach 100 goals.

In what turned out to be a thrilling finish, David de Gea made fantastic saves to deny Michail Antonio and Kurt Zouma. Then, with almost the final move of the game, he turned away a thunderous Declan Rice effort.
