Ralf Rangnick is hopeful Marcus Rashford could play a significant role in Manchester United's run-in after his 93rd-minute winner in the Premier League against West Ham.
Rashford was benched by Rangnick last month but emerged to score coolly against Brentford in the 3-1 midweek win and came off the bench again to poach a winner with the last kick to send United up to fourth for the first time since October 16.
United do not play again until February 4 against Middlesbrough in the FA Cup when Rashford is expected to start. The 24-year-old replaced teenager Anthony Elanga on the hour mark against West Ham and could have played his way back into the starting XI for the next Premier League match at Burnley on February 8.
