Man Utd’s new talisman confirmed and Maguire concerns in West Ham win

Manchester United weren’t at their best but got the job done in their 1-0 win over West Ham on Sunday. Marcus Rashford popped up with the winner in the first half, heading home after a fine cross from Christian Eriksen. Express Sport takes a look at five things learned from the showdown.There have been some big players for Manchester United so far this season.Eriksen and Casemiro have been superb, with the duo’s partnership in midfield going from strength to strength.Defenders Diogo Dalot and Lisandro Martinez have also been in fine form, while David De Gea has been back to his best.But Rashford, make no mistake about it, is the talisman of Ten Hag’s side.The England international has now bagged 100 across all competitions for the club, with his header flying past Lukasz Fabianski in the Hammers goal.It means he’s now bagged seven for the campaign and, after much was said and written about him back in the summer, he’s responded in the best way possible.Man Utd transfers: Plans for next three signings are damning on Solskjaer Man Utd beat West Ham with Marcus Rashford scoring the winner (Image: GETTY) Man Utd will be aiming to win trophies after West Ham win (Image: GETTY) Man Utd star Marcus Rashford celebrates his goal against West Ham (Image: GETTY)De Gea has always been a solid goalkeeper for United.Yet, in the modern game, the Spain international sometimes looks a man out of time.
