Manchester United 1-0 West Ham: Marcus Rashford's landmark goal seals victory
Rashford, whose goal came a day before his 25th birthday, could not be choosing a better time to find form given Gareth Southgate picks his England World Cup squad on 10 November.
Within the opening 16 minutes, he had three efforts. For the first, he had the confidence to nip in ahead of Ronaldo to take an early shot from Diogo Dalot's low cross, which went wide. Then his low shot was blocked by Tomas Soucek before it could threaten the West Ham goal before, finally, Rashford's header was saved by Lukasz Fabianski.
Rashford drove another shot wide at the start of the second half but, apart from a Fred effort that came back off a post, the rest of the United heroes were at the other end of the pitch, with De Gea inspirational in keeping West Ham out.Rashford was not on his own in needing to impress Southgate. Clean sheets are always welcome for defenders but Maguire played with a calmness that has been missing in recent months.
