Here are your latest Manchester United evening headlines on Saturday, April 8.
Ten Hag unhappy with Premier League
Erik ten Hag blamed Manchester United's hectic schedule for Marcus Rashford's apparent groin injury that he sustained in their 2-0 Premier League win against Everton.
Rashford appeared to clutch his groin after he attempted to control a lofted pass from Christian Eriksen and he was forced off in the 81st minute.
The 25-year-old has not missed any of United's 29 Premier League games this season and has plundered 28 club goals this term. United's next highest scorer is Bruno Fernandes on 10.

Rashford's injury did not appear to be linked to his withdrawal from the England squad last month when he sustained a knock in United's FA Cup quarter-final win over Fulham. The defeat of Everton was United's third fixture within a six-day period.
Rashford suffers injury
Manchester United are sweating over the fitness of Marcus Rashford after he was forced off with a groin problem in Saturday’s 2-0 win over Everton.
The 25-year-old is United’s top scorer this season with 28 goals and grabbed his 10th assist of the season when he set up Anthony Martial’s second half goal. The attacker pulled up when running after a ball with 13 minutes to go, immediately signalling to the bench to be substituted.
Old Trafford was subdued as Rashford trudged off town the tunnel grimacing and looking in some discomfort. Wout Weghorst came on in his stead.
De Gea reacts to Maguire decision
David de Gea has praised the depth of Manchester United's squad after the Reds' comfortable victory against Everton.
Erik ten Hag made the decision to start Harry Maguire against Everton, which meant Raphael Varane was rested. The start was just Maguire's sixth in the Premier League this season and he played his part in helping to record a clean sheet.
Tyrell Malacia and Aaron Wan-Bissaka also replaced Luke Shaw and Diogo Dalot in the starting side to face Everton at Old Trafford, which meant there were a total of three changes from the backline that started against Brentford.
