MARCUS RASHFORD'S 15th Premier League goal this season sunk Brentford to put Manchester United back in fourth place, but a massive night for Jadon Sancho didn't go so well - as the frontman was subbed after being recalled in place of Wout Weghorst. Rashford's sensational form means he now has 28 goals in all competitions. But there are question marks over Luke Shaw following a new injury worry. Here's how the Red Devils rated man by man after a 1-0 home win. DAVID DE GEA – 7 One moment of madness as he booted a clearance straight at Toney but was relieved to see it fly wide. DIOGO DALOT - 6 Got the nod despite Wan Bissaka returning to the squad with ten Hag admitting there is little to choose between the pair.  Did what he had to do defensively and linked up effectively with Antony down his flank. LISANDRO MARTINEZ - 7 Acrobatic clearance late in the first half showed what he is all about. As Brentford pushed for an equaliser he made another vital interception from a cr...

The Danish star has been missing since the end of January after he was poleaxed by a reckless challenge by Reading's Andy Carroll in an FA Cup tie at Old Trafford  The tackle had big ramifications on United and left them to dive into the transfer window on deadline day to land Marcel Sabitzer as a replacement. But Erik ten Hag has confirmed that Eriksen is back in training and could be back soon. But the Dutchman said his recovery won't be quick enough to see him take part in their next game against Brentford. He said: "Not for tomorrow but he’s returning on the pitch. He’s returned to team training today, so we have to see now how quickly he can make the progress." While Eriksen, 31, won't be back to face his former side, Casemiro will be available after serving his suspension for a red card against Southampton last month. Ten Hag revealed his happiness and getting both stars back. He added: "Two quality players. The midfield department, games will be decide...

The left-back signed a new four-year contract this morning, committing his future to Old Trafford until 2027 Parker isn't thrilled, however, as he reckons that Shaw can't be relied on to be mature when the chips are down. Sharing his reservations with BonusCodeBets, Parker said: "When Man United are struggling and the results have not gone their way, Shaw has reacted by being petulant and his performances have been very disappointing. "We are talking about a player who is England’s left full-back so you would expect mature performances and a mature behaviour but you are not getting that from him. "When I’m watching him I get this playground feeling. "He feels like he is the best player on the team and if it’s not going his way he wants to pick up the ball and go home. "That’s the way he is and he ends up kicking people. "Against Liverpool he tried to get a red card in the last 15 minutes. He wanted to get sent off and I got the same feeling against...

   Frustrated  Manchester United  players held a meeting without manager Erik ten Hag after they were humbled in a  2-0 loss  to  Newcastle United  on Sunday, said defender  Luke Shaw , who gave a brutally honest assessment of his team. I'm not going to go too much into that, but the players had a bit of a chat in the changing room after with no staff around," Shaw told Sky Sports after the match. "Because it's down to us players on the pitch, and it was nowhere near good enough. "We had to speak out in front of each other." Newcastle leapfrogged Man United into third in the  Premier League  standings, and exacted a measure of revenge over their visitors after a 2-0 loss to them in the League Cup final in February. "We were disappointed with the final," said  Callum Wilson , who along with  Joe Willock  scored Newcastle's goals on Sunday at St James' Park. "It left a sour taste in our mouth. We had to put it right in ...

Erik ten Hag was surprised Manchester United's players failed to match the intensity of Newcastle in their 2-0 defeat on what he admitted was "not a good day". Newcastle had 22 attempts to United's six in a dominant performance that lifted them above Ten Hag's team into third place in the Premier League table. United beat Newcastle 2-0 in the League Cup final five weeks ago and Ten Hag felt that was a source of motivation for the hosts and Luke Shaw said Newcastle "wanted it more". "I was surprised that we couldn't match the determination and the passion of the opponent. And I think you know before when you travel to St James' Park and Newcastle what will be going on, especially after we won the cup. So if you want to win big games you have to be mature and I didn't see that today."
