Manchester United have a new game-changer after Leeds win

Marcus Rashford's relocation to the centre forward role is becoming a reinvention. All bar one of his goals prior to the domestic season's hiatus came from the left flank and he has switched from wingman to frontman to score his last three.

Rashford's winners have secured a staggering 24 points in the Premier League this season - more than half of United's 46 points. His positional change at Elland Road was Erik ten Hag's most decisive on an afternoon his man-management of Alejandro Garnacho paid off.

The most underrated change was the introduction of Lisandro Martinez. Martinez is suspended for the Europa League play-off first leg in Barcelona on Thursday, so Luke Shaw moved inside to centre-back and Tyrell Malacia to get them up to speed for starts in Camp Nou.
