These contributions marked his third goal and first assist of the season across all competitions, after much criticism in the first few games of the season.
However, at half-time, the forward was replaced with Alejandro Garnacho sparking fears of injury.
Throughout the first half, there were no signs of any obvious injury to Rashford, however with him being one of the better performers for United, it’s hard to see how it would have been a tactical decision.
Erik ten Hag provides an update on Marcus Rashford
Speaking after the game, Erik ten Hag cleared up the situation regarding Marcus Rashford.
The United manager explained that he took the forward off to save him for Sunday’s match up with Aston Villa, keeping him fresh, whilst also giving Garnacho game time.
Speaking to TNT Sports, ten Hag said: “We have to rotate.”
He continued: “Garnacho, we didn’t start him. He had a great game, not only on Sunday, but I think in the whole season.
