Manchester United had hoped that their right-wing issues would be fixed when they splashed out £73million on Jadon Sancho last year, but on Wednesday night their answer came in the shape of an academy graduate who had never intended to play there.
With the former Borussia Dortmund winger still doing solo work in the Netherlands in a bid to revive his career, it fell to his close friend Marcus Rashford to head straight back into Erik ten Hag's starting line-up following his World Cup involvement.
Ten Hag went strong for the visit of Burnley in the Carabao Cup and played just about his strongest possible midfield and attack for the game, a huge sign of intent for their hopes of winning the tournament.
