Marcus Rashford has underlined the unity in the Manchester United squad and the "big impact" Erik ten Hag has had - just days after Cristiano Ronaldo's outburst at his manager and the club.
The Red Devils sit fifth in the Premier League after making steady progress under Ten Hag during the first half of the season. United lost their first two games but recovered to steadily rise up the table, taking three points from their final game before the World Cup break thanks to a late Alejandro Garnacho winner at Fulham on Sunday.
However, celebrations were cut short after segments of Ronaldo's explosive interview with Piers Morgan were released later that evening. The superstar striker, 37, declared there is no "respect" between him and Ten Hag and said he has been betrayed by the club, who are exploring legal avenues and could even sack him as punishment.
