Manchester United star Marcus Rashford has been named in the BBC Team of the Week.
Rashford, 25, scored one goal and provided an assist in Manchester United’s 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest.
This was the first week of Premier League action since the World Cup, with Manchester United returning to action with a comfortable victory.
Rashford took his tally up to 10 goals for the season, with Anthony Martial and Fred also on target.

Manchester United star named in BBC Team of the Week
BBC Sport pundit Garth Crooks named Rashford in his best Premier League XI from the post-Christmas action.
He described Rashford as clearly superior to Nottingham Forest that it was almost an unfair contest.
Crooks said: “I was a little reluctant to select Rashford because of this mismatch but the striker’s overall display was so compelling I thought better of it.”
It was somewhat bizarre that Rashford was the only Manchester United player named in Crooks’ team.
Casemiro was the best player on the pitch in Manchester United’s win and voted man of the match by supporters.
Crooks instead named Arsenal’s Martin Odegaard and Wolves’ Ruben Neves in his XI for their respective performances.
United take on Wolves up next at Molineux in the club’s final game of 2022.
