Marcus Rashford’s 27th-minute goal helped Manchester United defeat Brentford 1-0 on Wednesday night at Old Trafford to go back on track.
The last time United won a league game was on February 19, when they defeated Leicester City 3-0, one week before defeating Newcastle United 2-0 in the Carabao Cup final.
The Red Devils also easily advanced to the FA Cup semifinal with victories over Fulham (3-1) and Real Betis (5-1) on aggregate in the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals, respectively.
Erik Ten Hag’s success at the club has been built on the midfield and resurgence of Marcus Rashford, but with seven games of suspension this year for Casemiro due to multiple red cards and a severe injury to Christian Eriksen, it has been quite a challenging ride, according to talkSPORT.
Eriksen returns to full training
The Dane has been out injured since suffering an ankle injury against Reading in the FA Cup and has been a big blow to the team, coupled with Casemiro’s suspensions.
The club signed Austrian midfielder Marcel Sabitzer on loan from Bayern Munich until the end of the season to cover for the former Tottenham midfielder.
According to Sun UK, he took part in full training yesterday and is in contention to make the matchday squad for the crucial game against Everton.
Rangnick praises Ten Hag over Sabitzer
Sports Brief reported that former Manchester United boss and Austrian national team coach Ralf Rangnick praised the club for improving Marcel Sabitzer since his move to Old Trafford.
Rangnick highlighted a difference in Sabitzer’s confidence since he moved to England compared to when he was at Bayern.
The Red Devils have expressed the desire to make the move permanent, but former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel’s appointment at the German club could be a stumbling block.
