Rashford, who came on as a second-half substitute, tapped in a cross from fellow replacement Edinson Cavani in one of the few clear-cut chances created in a lacklustre match at Old Trafford.
A VAR check confirmed Cavani was onside and so the goal proved to be the winner. Man Utd rise above West Ham into fourth place in the Premier League as a result.

“All were involved,” Rangnick said. “That makes it even more important.”
It completed a good week for United, which also won 3-1 at Brentford on Wednesday, as the league heads into a two-week winter break.
For Rashford, too, with the England forward scoring in back-to-back league games for the first time in a season that has been interrupted by injury and poor form.
“It is obviously an important goal and such late on is an amazing feeling,” Rashford said. “We have to use that winning feeling.”
