Marcus Rashford has shared the tactical tweaks Manchester United made following the defeat to Newcastle that helped the Reds overcome a direct Brentford side at Old Trafford on Wednesday evening.
United reclaimed their place in the top four with a hard-fought 1-0 win over the Bees, Rashford firing in the only goal of the game from close range after Marcel Sabitzer's knockdown. The Reds enjoyed the better of the opening 45, with Scott McTominay and Antony both coming close to adding a second.
Brentford grew into the game after the break but rarely threatened United's goal, substitute Kevin Schade racing through on goal to see his effort smothered by David De Gea. An in-form Ivan Toney was duly kept quiet, while the Bees' usual direct threat was managed brilliantly.
