Marcus Rashford explains how Manchester United improved against Brentford after Newcastle loss

Marcus Rashford believes Manchester United were 'calmer' with and without the ball in Wednesday's win over Brentford.

It was a much-needed return to winning ways for United who risked playing themselves into serious trouble in the race for a top-four place if they suffered successive defeats. Erik ten Hag's side slumped to a limp 2-0 loss at Newcastle on Sunday in their return to action following the international break.

United never looked like winning and the defeat eventually saw them slip down to fifth as the Magpies leapfrogged them to third and Tottenham's draw with Everton on Monday saw them move into fourth on goal difference. Wednesday's victory means United are back in fourth, though, level on points with Newcastle and three above Spurs with a game in hand.
