The Red Devils beat the Hatters 1-0 at Old Trafford to return to winning ways after suffering defeat in the Champions League midweek.

After struggling to break the deadlock, Victor Lindelof eventually scored for Manchester United in the second-half, and the game ended 1-0 in their favour.

What he said

"It is a good day. We needed the win and we got it but we could make life more easy by scoring early on and getting a second,” he said, per the BBC.

“We created the chances but we didn't score apart from one. I am happy with that and I am happy with the clean sheet. We had many chances before half time and you should net one of them. 

“After half time, get the second and then the game is gone. Now you keep them alive and they can get an equaliser from balls dropping in the wrong place.”

Rashford committed his long-term future to Manchester United over the summer after finishing the season with 30 goals in all competitions, a personal best.

This season has been a different story entirely, as the England international has only managed 1 goal in 15 appearances and looks desperately short of confidence.
