<\/div>\nMarcus Rashford\u2019s 100th goal for Manchester United proved to be enough for Erik ten Hag\u2019s side at Old Trafford as they moved up to fifth in the Premier League with a narrow 1-0 victory over West Ham.<\/p>\n
Antony failed to make United\u2019s matchday squad due to injury, but Cristiano Ronaldo was restored into the starting line-up, and early on the hosts showed their attacking intent. West Ham\u2019s game plan was to try and hit the home side on the counter attack.<\/p>\n
It was Manchester United though that took the lead shortly before the break, as Rashford met Christian Eriksen\u2019s teasing cross from the right with a bullet header that flew past Lukasz Fabianski in the West Ham goal. The strike brought up his century for the club on his 318th appearance.<\/p>\n

With time running out, West Ham tried everything to search for a valuable equaliser and the home side had to rely on David de Gea to keep the scores level as the Spaniard made a superb save from Kurt Zouma\u2019s header to keep his side ahead.<\/p>\n
United then came close to adding a second in the 86th minute as Fred\u2019s header from Scott McTominay\u2019s cross came back off the far post.<\/p>\n
De Gea was called into action once again in the third minute of stoppage time, as he made a diving save to stop Declan Rice\u2019s long-range strike from finding the top corner. Seconds later, the final whistle sounded and Ten Hag\u2019s side managed to hold on to secure another important home win.<\/p>\n
