Inevitable Rashford

We win 2-0. Rashford of course scores again and Garnacho shuts the critics. This was our worst performance since the World Cup. But, WHO CARES? We won.  The starting line-up today was questionable, with neither Varane nor Martinez starting, but I understand the decision as we prepare for Barcelona on Thursday. Martinez is suspended for the first leg, so Shaw will be playing the left centre back, which leads me to think Ten Hag started Shaw as LCB to get more used to the position he has been playing lately, like against City.  Maguire is, let's be honest, not good enough. Defensively he was solid, apart from the one moment which led to a Leeds chance which he did recover from, but his passing let the team down, slowing our tempo. Bringing on Martinez changed our game for the better. Fred had an amazing game and deserved the man of the match. We missed Casemiro a lot in the game. Sancho was our main threat in the first half, I raised my eyebrow when he was taken off instead of Weghor
