For the first time since Wayne Rooney
Manchester United beat West Ham 1-0.
Marcus Rashford became the hero of the match after his 100th goal for the club.
– I’ve been waiting for it, says the 24-year-old.

But it was Marcus Rashford who went ahead and saved Manchester United at home against West Ham.
Rashford, who turns 25 tomorrow, headed powerfully into the game’s only goal in the 38th minute.
Not bad, but I should score more goals with my head! Rashford told Sky Sports I have decent range so I should just work on attacking the ball and getting a good hit.
Rashford teacher
It was the Englishman’s 100th goal for the club in competition. Rashford is the 22nd in the club’s history to succeed and the first since 2009. At the time, it was Wayne Rooney who reached this milestone.
– I had the last few matches on my mind, but since we won, I’ve been happy and waiting for that.
West Ham came close to equalizing once and twice, but David de Gea was brilliant at scoring goals at home.
David was great today. I don’t know how to save Zuma’s header, says Rashford.
So, Lindelof was missing
Center back Victor Lindelof was missing from United due to illness. The other Swede on the team, Anthony Ilanga, played from the start and was substituted an hour later.
Manchester United are unbeaten in the last eight matches, including all competitions.
