Manager Erik ten Hag waxed lyrical about right-back Diogo Dalot following Manchester United's narrow 1-0 win over West Ham United at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.
Marcus Rashford, recalled to the starting line-up after stepping off the bench and scoring in Thursday night's 3-0 Europa League win over Sheriff Tiraspol, scored the only goal of the game, powering a header past Hammers goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski shortly before half-time, claiming his 100th goal in United colours. He connected with Christian Eriksen's exquisite delivery and made it his mission to ensure he claimed his seventh goal of the campaign.
However, despite getting their noses in front before the interval, United failed to build on their advantage after the restart, being forced to withstand no shortage of West Ham pressure. David Moyes' side went up through the gears as the second half wore on and had it not been for some outstanding goalkeeping from David de Gea they would have drawn level.
