United Review: Rashford on form as United progress

Manchester United 2 - 0 Burnley

Marcus Rashford readjusted to club matters after his World Cup campaign with England as he scored a fine solo goal in Manchester United's EFL Cup win over Burnley at Old Trafford.

Rashford was one of five United players on duty in Qatar to make manager Erik ten Hag's starting line-up.

Super News - 1

Christian Eriksen put the hosts ahead just before the half hour with a fine first-time finish after Aaron Wan-Bissaka has provided his first goal assist since May 2021, Rashford took centre stage 12 minutes into the second period.

Given too much space as Burnley's defence backed off, Rashford started running 10 yards inside his own half and didn't stop until he had sprinted into the box, darted between Jack Cork and Jordan Beyer and driven his ninth goal of the season into the bottom corner.It was enough to earn United only their second home win inside 90 minutes in this competition in five years.

United have too much for Burnley in the end

Despite Burnley coming out with much energy after the restart, a piece of brilliance from Marcus Rashford made it 2-0, with the winger's driving run and finish unable to be stopper by the visitors' defence. They did, however, have several chances to reduce the deficit and force United into a nervy ending. They just couldn't get the goal.

Here's to you Vincent Kompany

United Review: Reds cruise against Sheriff

Manchester United 3-0 Sheriff Tiraspol The reds recorded a comfortable in the Europa League. In a match dominated by the Reds, headed goals from Diogo Dalot and Marcus Rashford in each half were added to by a late Cristiano Ronaldo strike to settle the victory. The result, our fourth win of the group stage, means there will be a showdown at Real Sociedad next week to decide who takes the top spot and avoids having to play off against a third-placed side from the Champions League. United must win by two goals to topple the San Sebastian outfit on the head-to-head, after their 1-0 victory at Old Trafford.

United Review: Casemiro shines in comfortable win

Manchester United 3 - 0 Nottingham Forest It was a straightforward night for the Red Devils as we brushed aside Forest with relative ease.  First goal was a training exercise worked to perfection We were ahead in the 19th minute from a set-piece move that would have brought a smile to the face of Teddy Sheringham, the former United and Forest striker who had particular success with goals from near-post corners. On this occasion, Christian Eriksen angled the ball along the ground and Rashford swept it into the net, finishing as he ran at full speed. Hennessey at fault for the second goal It was 2-0 a few minutes later after the slippery conditions deceived Hennessey. They took advantage of an overload on the left flank as Fernandes worked the ball forward to Rashford, who found Martial on the edge of the penalty area. His shot was side-footed, weak and, despite going through Willy Boly’s legs, should have been saved, but the ball squirmed from Hennessey’s grasp and trickled ove...
