Talking points from United v Forest (Manchester United)

Manchester United hit the ground running again in the Premier League with a convincing 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest. Marcus Rashford opened the scoring, ...

The Brazilian was in a makeshift centre-back role against Burnley in our first game back after the World Cup, but he returned to his spot in the middle of the park against Forest. It also created a bit of history, marking the first time in Premier League history that two Brazilians have combined for a goal for Manchester United. He was instrumental in our second goal with an excellent sliding tackle to win the ball back, kickstarting the move that would end in Martial doubling our lead in the 22nd minute. Christian Eriksen’s perfectly timed ball into the box was met by the oncoming Rashford, who escaped the huddle of players without detection and stroked the ball into the back of the net. Rashford, likewise, has trumped his league tally from last season, and his goal involvements against Forest brings his current campaign to five goals and three assists. He was called upon after illness affected both Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof, with the England international making the bench.

"I'm a big believer in looking at the process of the performance. In the end you do have to make the most of those situations at this level. I wouldn't say we gifted the goal because they have to work for it, but it's frustrating with the goals. "We are always in the market, but it has to match the sporting criteria but also the financial criteria. I want to have a really good season this year and hopefully win a trophy with the club. But what's key for United is that he has adapted to the Premier League so quickly. Casemiro is a five-time Champions League winner for a reason. If we keep improving we'll be in and around those opportunities We are looking for a striker. On Marcus Rashford's performance, he added: "It was not only Rashford but I'm really happy with his performance once again. Happy with that because it is always the base to compete. "We had some great attacks, lots of movement.

The Sky Sports writers analyse the key talking points from Tuesdays action in the Premier League as both Chelsea and Manchester United improve their ...

He will see for himself just how much work there is to do in the January market. He carries the burden of scoring the goals in a side that struggles to do so. They improved in the second period yet struggled to break the hosts down, seeing their best chance come through Dominic Solanke's final-minute header. Cesar Azpilicueta - James' replacement - was unable to provide the same attacking threat on the right. Reports suggest United are working on a shoe-string budget having overspent in the summer. He has a hunger to score different types of goals and is becoming more ruthless as a result. Even with the help of Martial, Antony, Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho. It signals a changing of the guard. But what's key for United is that he has adapted to the Premier League so quickly. There's been a distinct shift in his mentality. The 25-year-old forward looks like a man transformed under Erik ten Hag. Casemiro is a five-time Champions League winner for a reason.

Story Behind The Shot: Focus on Erik ten Hag (Manchester United)

Club photographer Ash Donelon tells the stories behind three of his favourite Erik images from the season so far.

The contemplative pose and the direct sunlight help to create a portrait of a boss at work.” So I placed my camera directly on the edge of the grass, and this low angle makes the manager appear much larger in the frame, portraying him as the master of his domain.” Some of the newer away grounds have underground parking for the team bus, which is secure and convenient, but isn’t always ideal for photography as the backdrops can lack matchday atmosphere.

Seven of our international Reds at the time, meanwhile, were selected to represent their nations at the upcoming Euro 2022. It also marked the start of our transfer activity, with Diane Caldwell and Martha Harris leaving the club following the conclusion of their contracts. Russo, meanwhile, earned the plaudits of her team-mates and was awarded the Player’s Player of the Year accolade. In 2021, we had our first game at the Theatre of Dreams, beating West Ham 2-0 thanks to goals from former Reds Lauren James and Christen Press, but it was a match played behind closed doors due to the Covid-19 pandemic. A final-day fixture against Chelsea made for an entertaining affair, with United needing to win to have any chance of securing European qualification, while the Blues were looking to pip Arsenal to another WSL title. In four instalments of the WSL, three wins and one draw against West Ham would see us get things rolling once more, after a difficult February.
