David Moyes refused to be drawn into a question regarding the form of Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford.
Rashford is enjoying the best season of his career and he scored his 25th goal of the campaign in all competitions against Newcastle at Wembley in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday, which was officially credited to him despite a deflection.
That first-half strike was initially registered as an own goal, as the ball took a deflection off Newcastle defender Sven Botman, but the club received clarification on Monday morning that the goal had been officially given to Rashford.

After losing his starting place last season, Rashford has emphatically bounced back with Erik ten Hag in charge and Moyes, speaking ahead of West Ham's match at Old Trafford on Wednesday night, was asked about his plan to stop him.
When asked whether he would give his players specific instructions on how to deal with Rashford, Moyes said: "We have to defend against so many good players in the Premier League, Rashford is one of them.
"We played them up there earlier in the season and were really unfortunate, David de Gea played really, really well to keep them in the game, or we could’ve had a positive result. It was very close, the league game.
"I’m hoping we can give them another good game this time around."
Moyes was also asked whether he expects Rashford to start the game and he added: "I think you should ask Erik ten Hag that question. I couldn’t tell you what Manchester United are going to do. My only focus is on West Ham.
"It's on what West Ham do and how we play and getting the right team and the right players available for the game."
