Manchester: Marcus Rashford hit by almost the last kick of the match to bring Manchester United to the top league premier at West Ham’s fees with a 1-0 win on Saturday.
United were bland as the attack for 93 minutes at Old Trafford, but found a breakthrough to death because the third replacement Ralf Rangnick was combined when Anthony Martial and Edinson Cavani Ted Rashford to press at the back.
The victory raised points above the hammer and saw the Red Devils Leapfrog Tottenham and Arsenal in the battle for next season’s Champions League football.
Rangnick has lost only one of the 10 matches since taking temporary fees until the end of the season, but once again the results are more impressive than the performance of the Germany.
Bruno Fernandes returned to the best with two goals and two assists in the past week and Portuguese almost created an opening with a cross that had just avoided Cristiano Ronaldo in the most dangerous first moment.
Alphonse Areola was founded in West Ham’s goal without Lukasz Fabianski because of the positive test for Coronavirus, but the French was forced in just one serious rescue when he turned Fred who was pushed behind in the second round.
Fernandes dragged another effort as wide as the edge of the box because United worked hard with a frustration of 75,000 crowds.
However, Rangnick changes make a difference.
Rashford has seen without trust in recent months, but his first goal since October in a 3-1 victory in Brentford on Wednesday gave England’s international lift.
Rangnick claimed that Anthony Martial refused to be part of his troops to draw 2-2 last weekend at Aston Villa when he was looking for moving from the club for more time.
The Frenchman openly denied the allegations and was given his first minute under the temporary boss when he was introduced along with Cavani in the last 10 minutes.
David De Gea was almost trapped by the long-term effort of Reclan Rice when the match entered the termination time.
But instead of winning the winner, West Ham was hit with a sucker blow on a counterattack.
Martial playing in Cavani on the left side of the box and the Crusades Uruguay only needs one touch from Rashford behind the post.
The wild celebration survived the VAR examination against Cavani for offside and almost no time for West Ham to start what could be a fatal blow for their external expectations to reach the Champions League for the first time.
