Erik ten Hag has found his Kevin de Bruyne at Manchester United

Erik ten Hag has found his own Kevin de Bruyne at Manchester United this season with the arrival of Christian Eriksen, with both midfield maestros sharing the same footballing philosophy about the things that really matter on the pitch.

As Marcus Rashford headed home his 100th goal for United against West Ham, the plaudits rightly went the way of the forward. It was a sumptuous header that Lukasz Fabianski could do little to prevent, as the now 25-year-old reached the milestone in emphatic style.

When the dust settled, and the replays poured in, the pin-point cross from Eriksen to pick out his teammate at the back-post left many speechless at the sheer quality of the delivery. The 30-year-old could hardly have placed the ball a millimetre in either direction and made the chance any better for Rashford.
