Marcus Rashford cherishes 100th goal for United in West Ham win

Marcos Rashford

Marcus Rashford admitted his 100th goal for Manchester United was a "beautiful moment" as the England forward sealed a 1-0 win against West Ham on Sunday. Rashford has been one of United's most improved players this season after several years in the doldrums.

But the 24-year-old is still not guaranteed a place on England's flight to Qatar for the World Cup in November. Rashford, who was left out of England's most recent Nations League squad, took the chance to remind England boss Gareth Southgate of his qualities with a fine display capped by the first-half winner at Old Trafford. With Southgate watching from the stands, Rashford's seventh goal in all competitions this season was perfectly timed before the England manager names his World Cup squad.

"It's a beautiful feeling. It's been on my mind the last couple of games. I've been waiting for it to come and thankfully it did today," Rashford said. "I feel I need to score more goals. It's always good to score regardless of whether Gareth Southgate is watching or not."
