Scott McTominay scores again, Marcus Rashford injured in Manchester United win

Scott McTominay kept up his unlikely run of scoring to help Manchester United beat Everton 2-0 in Premier League on Saturday, solidifying team’s spot in Champions League qualification positions.

However, a late injury to Marcus Rashford took gloss off a comfortable win for United at Old Trafford. England forward hobbled off field while holding groin area in his right leg.

McTominay has five goals in his last five games, including back-to-back doubles for Scotland against Cyprus and Spain in recent European Championship qualifiers.

Handed license to attack from central midfield by United manr Erik ten Hag, McTominay ran onto Jadon Sancho’s pass and slammed a finish inside Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford’s near post in 36th minute.

That goal came during a dominant first half by United, with only brilliance of Pickford keeping hosts at bay.

A mistake by Everton captain Seamus Coleman led to United’s second goal in 71st minute. Rashford capitalized and passed across face of goal for substitute Anthony Martial to convert from a central position.

Ar positive for United was sight of Christian Eriksen coming on as a substitute in 76th for his first appearance since Jan. 28 because of injury.

However, injury to Rashford — United’s top scorer with 28 goals in all competitions — will be a concern given United's busy schedule. As well as fighting to finish in league’s top four, team also is still in Europa League and FA Cup.

Everton started Saturday out of relegation zone only on goal difference.
