Erik ten Hag makes Marcus Rashford claim as Antony sends Manchester United message

Here are your Sunday evening Manchester United headlines.

Ten Hag admission

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag believes Marcus Rashford is now one of the best forwards in Europe.

Rashford nodded in his 21st goal of the season in United's 2-0 win over Leeds United at Elland Road and his winners have earned United a staggering 24 points in the Premier League.

"He's definitely one of them," Ten Hag said of Rashford's elite status. "He has the skills. I was convinced from the first moment, I was really excited to work with him, I thought I could get more out of him.

"But he has so many skills and such high potential and there can be even more. When he works well he will score even more goals because he can score with his left, right and his head."

Antony message

Manchester United winger Antony congratulated his teammates from the sofa after Sunday's 2-0 win at Leeds United.

The Brazilian was once again unavailable for United's trip across the Pennines, having been out since the 2-1 win at home to Crystal Palace earlier this month, but watched from the comfort of his own home as goals from Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho sealed a fifth win in six games.

Having made three changes from the side that started midweek, Erik ten Hag watched on as his side struggled to cope with a fever-pitch Elland Road atmosphere and a relentless Leeds side. The Reds rode their luck at times but grew into the game after the break, eventually taking the lead through Rashford's pinpoint header before Garnacho doubled the lead five minutes later.

The 22-year-old posted a picture of Garnacho celebrating and the scoreline alongside the caption: "What a win! Congrats, team! We're United!!"
