Manchester United could BENEFIT from the World Cup with Harry Maguire and Marcus Rashford feeling rejuvenated after England’s run… but Erik ten Hag may still be ‘frosty’ towards the defender, says Sportsmail’s Rob Draper in WORLD CUP CONFIDENTIAL
As the World Cup draws to a close this weekend, attention will quickly turn back to domestic matters.
Manchester United are one of the Premier League clubs that could actually benefit from the tournament as they push for a top four finish this season.
Harry Maguire has barely played in the opening months of the season, having lost his place to Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane under new manager Erik ten Hag.
Man United should benefit from the revived form of Harry Maguire and Marcus Rashford
But Maguire’s strong and composed performances in England’s run to the quarter-finals in Qatar have underlined his enduring abilities and will have impressed the United boss.
Marcus Rashford was enjoying a very good season anyway, scoring goals at regular intervals for United.
But his three goals in Qatar – one against Iran and two against Wales in the group stage – will give the forward an additional confidence boost.
With Cristiano Ronaldo now gone, Rashford should be able to flourish once again.
This topic is one of those discussed in today’s edition of Sportsmail’s World Cup Confidential video.
