Teenage sensation Marcus Rashford scored a delicious goal as Manchester United won 2-1 at West Ham United in Wednesday’s FA Cup quarterfinal replay to bolster manager Louis van Gaal.

Rashford on the other hand has been a revelation at Old Trafford – scoring six goals in 11 games this season including a wonderful strike against West Ham in the FA Cup this week. He is also young and he has played the last how many [12] matches but, yeah, at the end I don’t want to do that.”I don’t know because I was not there and at that time, I was occupied with my club at that time, but you cannot compare”.
“He was special. Van Gaal can do it but in football, time and results are going to speak about if he is the main man or if he is not”.
For all of their precocious attacking flair, United’s place in the last four was once again secured due to the heroics of goalkeeper De Gea.
United head in to the weekend action sitting fifth in the Premier League table and four points adrift of fourth-placed Manchester City so they desperately need a win over Villa to give their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League a major boost.
United manager Van Gaal expressed his doubts surrounding Herrera’s fitness ahead of the visit of the Premier League’s basement club at Old Trafford. “You can ask that every time, but I don’t discuss it”.
“I think of the arrogance and there is enough testosterone there not to fear anything that Man City will throw at Man United next season if he goes”.
Louis van Gaal was pleased with his team’s performance as the Red Devils bounced back from the 3 – 0 defeat at White Hart Lane on Sunday. He added: “The players, the manager and the staff have been frustrated because we have not been consistent this season”.
The manager said: “Consistency is very important of course”.
The Manchester United striker was a virtual unknown to most football fans at the start of 2016.

“It is not new for me that this is happening but I am very happy that we have the ability to pick youngster from our academy”. I expect a big loss as well so I think we have a lot of value betting on Manchester United with a handicap so that is definitely a good bet.
