Speaking to the media after the game, Ten Hag said this win will overturn United’s fortune this season.

"This is only one win, but what we have seen is that there is togetherness and fight - a real good spirit in the dressing room," said Ten Hag. "What we have seen is when you have to defend with 11 and do it together, it is very difficult to play against this Manchester United."

Meanwhile, Manchester United will host Crystal Palace in the EFL Cup on Wednesday, September 27, and then again three days later in the Premier League.

The left-winger Rashford, in 245 appearances in the Premier League, has scored 77 goals, assisting 38 times.

This season, he would be United’s go-to-forward in the absence of several first-team players.
