Scholes on Martial and Rashford partnership
Paul Scholes has hailed Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial’s partnership after they combined to score in Manchester United’s win over Everton.
Scholes told BT Sport: “Look, it’s great to have him back, we all know the quality he’s got, it’s just can he get through it now? Can he get through until the end of the season?
“He hasn’t got a great record fitness-wise but we all know how good of a player he is. If he’s playing in this team he scores 20-25 goals and that adds up to that big gap between Man United and City and Arsenal. It’s a little bit of a blow, I hope he’s okay.
“Just as Martial comes back then he goes out – them two together play really well, they have some kind of link that has been missing in forward areas, they’re both very dangerous.
“I hope Marcus is okay, he gives that option and as I said before the game, you need four or five players who can contribute to try and get you up to 70-80 goals. Marcus and Martial together could probably bring half of those.”

Ten Hag on Rashford injury
Erik ten Hag has slammed the Premier League fixture list after Marcus Rashford was hit by a concerning injury.
“We have to be more clinical, this game has to be finished by half-time. It was a good performance and it’s very good if you do this with three games in six days so it’s a compliment to the team,” he told BT Sport.
“We have to wait [on Rashford’s injury], it doesn’t look good. Once again it’s due to the schedule, you can’t play three games in six days. We have to protect our players.
“Everyone wants the best players on the pitch, everyone wants to see great entertaining football like today. But you need your best players. It’s a win and we have to move on.”

6 talking points – Man Utd 2-0 Everton
Manchester United are back up to third in the table after a comfortable 2-0 win over Everton at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon.
The Red Devils welcomed the relegation-battlers to the Theatre of Dreams for a game that was certain to have a big impact at both ends of the table.
Marcus Rashford has been United’s main man when it comes to goalscoring this season and the England ace should have added another to his tally early on, but fired his effort straight at Jordan Pickford inside the opening 10 minutes when through on goal.
