Rashford nearly got a second goal, as he broke into the box once again before his shot hit Sa, bounced back off the striker and rolled into the back of the net. After beginning the game on the naughty step, Rashford thought he got a second goal off the bench to continue his impressive start to the season but VAR disallowed the goal as it hit the forward’s hand after his shot was initially saved by the goalkeeper.
United icon Rio Ferdinand believes that Ten Hag is setting the right standards at the club, after dropping Rashford. “That’s the key word, setting a culture, setting standards, he said that in his first press conference,” Ferdinand told BT Sport.
“He’s triggered that with a few big decisions, Garnacho in the summer, he done it with Cristiano [Ronaldo] but when you make big decisions like this you need them to come off to really get the benefits for it to hit home, he got that today. Them embracing shows there’s no love lost there.”
