Ruthless Rashford & heroic De Gea lift Man Utd! Winners, losers & ratings as Ten Hag's men edge out West Ham

Marcus Rashford is the man who will get the most credit for his fantastic goal that secured a 1-0 win for Manchester United against West Ham, but this was a success with many fathers.

The likes of Lisandro Martinez, Harry Maguire, Diogo Dalot and Christian Eriksen all deserve credit for their roles in the narrow victory, while David De Gea produced his best all-round performance in years between the sticks.

The goalkeeper was absolutely magnificent against the Hammers, particularly towards the end of the game as he pulled off some spectacular saves to keep the visitors out.

Martinez and Maguire, too, were solid at the back and Dalot made some important headers to keep upsetting David Moyes' men.

The win sees United extend their unbeaten run in all competitions to eight matches and puts them in fifth place in the league.

Erik ten Hag's men sit just one point behind Newcastle and are well and truly in the fight for a top-four finish amid the progress they have made under the new coach.
