Here are your Sunday morning Manchester United headlines.
Rashford a 'legend'
Louis Saha has claimed Marcus Rashford is "already a Manchester United legend" as the England ace continues to enjoy a prolific campaign in front of goal.
Rashford has been in superb form for Erik ten Hag's men so far this season, registering 27 goals and nine assists in all competitions for United. The 25-year-old has played a starring role for the Reds since returning from the World Cup in Qatar and won his first trophy since 2017 with a victory over Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final in February.

The England international came through the ranks at United and has played nearly 350 matches for the club. Former Reds man Saha has suggested the forward has already done enough at the club to be considered a legend - insisting that his impact on the team after coming into the side is often forgotten.
The Frenchman, talking to OLBG, said: "I think Marcus Rashford is already a Manchester United legend. People need to realise that he was playing in a team that was going through a transitionary period. He arrived in the team when he was 17/18 and didn't really have the chance to play in a team such as Monaco like [Kylian] Mbappe did when Monaco reached the final of Champions League."
Weghorst chat
Manchester United striker Wout Weghorst has detailed the conversation he had with Erik ten Hag when he was asked to play as a deeper-lying number 10.
The attacker has played the position on a handful of occasions, most notably and successfully in the 2-2 first leg draw at the Nou Camp against Barcelona in the Europa League play-off tie last month.
Weghorst failed to score in either leg and has just two goals in 18 appearances, albeit grabbed the assist for Marcus Rashford’s League Cup final goal at Wembley. The Dutchman, who suffered defeat with the Netherlands against France in Friday’s Euro 2024 qualifier, recalled the first time Ten Hag had asked him to play the new position.
“The manager told me at half-time in the away game at Fulham that he was considering the option of playing me as a 10, behind Rashford,” he said, as per the Mirror.
