data-ga=\"within_article-topic_link|topic_manchester-united\" frmappuse=\"1\">Manchester United<\/a> sealed a 1-0 win against <!-- -->West Ham<!-- --> as the England forward made his push for a World Cup place on Sunday. <br \/>Rashford has been one of United&#8217;s most improved players this season after several years in the doldrums. <br \/>But the 24-year-old is still not guaranteed a place on England&#8217;s flight to Qatar for the World Cup in November. <br \/>Rashford, who was left out of England&#8217;s most recent Nations League squad, took the chance to remind Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate of his qualities with a fine display capped by the first-half winner at Old Trafford. <br \/>With Southgate watching from the stands, Rashford&#8217;s seventh goal in all competitions this season was perfectly timed before the England manager names his World Cup squad. <br \/>After netting against Sheriff in the Europa League on Thursday, Rashford said Erik ten Hag was a &#8220;joy&#8221; to play for as he hailed the United manager&#8217;s role in his revival. <br \/>Thanks to Rashford, the 22nd player to score a century of goals for United, and a series of superb saves from david De Gea, Ten Hag&#8217;s side are up to fifth place in the <!-- -->Premier League<!-- -->. <br \/>Unbeaten in their last eight games in all competitions, United are one point behind fourth-placed Newcastle in the race to qualify for next season&#8217;s Champions League. <br \/>West Ham manager David Moyes has still to win away against United in the Premier League, losing 12 of his 16 visits to his former club. <br \/>United had to ride their luck at times, with their defence creaking as the much-maligned Harry Maguire made his first league start since August 13 in place of the injured Raphael Varane. <br \/>Rashford carried the main threat for United and he cut through the West Ham defence for a powerful drive that hit Craig Dawson and looped just over the bar. <br \/>Rashford went close again with a header from Diogo Dalot&#8217;s cross that forced West Ham keeper Lukasz Fabianski into action. <br \/>Cristiano Ronaldo was making his first league start since the goalless draw against Newcastle on October 16, having been granted a return to the team following his brief exile after refusing to come on as a substitute against Tottenham. <br \/>A wasted pass from Ronaldo brought an end to a promising attack and triggered groans of frustration from United fans, whose angst grew when Anthony Elanga volleyed wide from a good position. <br \/>But Rashford settled United&#8217;s anxiety in the 38th minute with a perfectly-timed run to the far post, where he leapt above Thilo Kehrer to meet Christian Eriksen&#8217;s superb cross with a bullet header from six yards. <br \/>Rashford remained red hot in the second half, skipping past his marker for a curler that whistled narrowly wide from the edge of the area. <br \/>Ronaldo was left shaking his head in disbelief after squandering two good chances in quick succession as he headed over and then shot wide. <br \/>If those misses were indicative of Ronaldo&#8217;s decline, the 37-year-old kept trying and his deflected shot almost crept over Fabianski. <br \/>Said Benrahma was West Ham&#8217;s dangerman and his long-range effort was well held by De Gea as the visitors enjoyed a period of sustained pressure. <br \/>In a tense finish, it was De Gea who ended as United&#8217;s saviour as the Spaniard denied Michail Antonio with a good stop, then made an even better save to keep out Kurt Zouma&#8217;s header. <br \/>Dea Gea saved his best for last when he dived to his left at full-stretch to make a brilliant save from Declan Rice&#8217;s goalbound blast.
