Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag dropped Wout Weghorst for their home game against Brentford.

The Red Devils won the game 1-0, with Marcus Rashford scoring the only goal of the contest.

Rashford had started in the centre forward position instead of Weghorst, who had started the previous 20 in all competitions.

Asked about Jadon Sancho coming into the line up for Weghorst by MUTV pre-game, Ten Hag replied: "Creativity. Jadon is making good progress since he came back - he can play the final pass, have an action one-on-one, he has movement in behind and can score goals."

He added: "There is not a need to change a lot because we are doing well, but I think we have to reflect on Sunday. We need full discipline in defending, also in offensive challenges and duels in order to break a compact opponent."
