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.

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

Before we provide a full overview, let's explore one of the best campaigns of his career. Goals at PSV catch the eye He scored 77 goals in 90 matches for PSV. Other clubs were interested but he was seemingly only interested in a move to Old Trafford. In the spring of 2000, he looked set to complete a club record £18.5 million transfer to Manchester United.  He was to be unveiled at a press conference four days later, but this was instead used to announce that the transfer had been postponed over concerns about his fitness.  Not long after, he suffered a rupture to his anterior cruciate knee ligaments during a training session, leaving him injured for a year. Eventual move and success at Manchester United In his first season at Old Trafford, he scored 36 goals in 49 appearances.  One of his best performances came in a 3-2 FA Cup win over Aston Villa.
