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.

João Félix is one name that would have interested United as the Portuguese forward appears unhappy at Atlético Madrid, but even his loan fee is likely to be too expensive in this window. While the fee for Gakpo, which could rise to £50m, might have been countenanced by United, the club did not make a firm offer for the 23-year-old, allowing Liverpool to move in quickly for his signature. Ronaldo’s departure means United have saved around £10m in the wages that would have been paid to the Portuguese for the budget to recruit a forward for Ten Hag.
