"In my mind, I was 100% convinced that we were both signing for Man United. Even in that moment, I thought Ronaldinho was coming. "'I put you in a good team!' he said. "When the guys from United came to watch us in that friendly, we spoke afterwards, really quickly. "Next time I saw him, I said to him 'hey, bro... He was close to joining them with me. "We played a friendly against France and Man United representatives were there watching the game. The Parisian giants managed to hold onto their prized asset for a further 12 months, but in the summer of 2003 Ronaldinho's wish looked to be granted when Man Utd and Ronaldinho agreed on personal terms. Yet the two parties failed to come to an arrangement and just three days later, Ronaldinho instead signed for Barcelona. One Brazilian midfielder who did make the switch to Old Trafford was Kleberson.

This is definitely a good one to win. "It was good to come back,” said Rashford.

Erik ten Hag was full of praise for Marcus Rashford after the forward scored in Manchester United's 2-0 win against Burnley.

”I think he is on a very good level, his performances are improving a lot from game to game. Rashford was one of several players involved in the World Cup to feature and marked his return to club action with a stunning solo goal. “I think he invested a lot, once again, with a lot of runs in behind the defending line, and then he scored a great goal in a dribble, great finish,” said the Manchester United boss.

Goals from Christian Eriksen and Marcus Rashford saw Manchester United progress to the next stage of the tournament.

After skipping past the German, Rashford fired hard and low into the bottom corner past a frustrated Peacock-Farrell. The defender, starting his first match of the season, did excellently to slide in and meet the ball, while simultaneously managing to square it to the waiting Eriksen, who tapped home from just a few yards. It was a quiet opening to the game with Alejandro Garnacho producing the only meaningful scoring opportunity of the first 10 minutes.

Aaron, we missed him in the first 14 games of the Premier League and we need numbers in the squad but not only numbers, they have to play well and they have to perform. [You have to] keep going and keep believing that the ball is going to get there, but it is an investment. But with the passing capabilities of players like Eriksen, Casemiro and Bruno, we have the players that can get the ball there. We had a lot of high regains, we had a lot of transitional moments. It's a difficult to get the press on [them] but I think we did.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka has taken in just two appearances for Manchester United this season, but Erik ten Hag insists the defender has a future at the club.

He’s had some good years with United, but from the start of this season he had a lot of illnesses and injuries, and so was running behind. But this is great and so I’m happy with his performance. Wan-Bissaka put in a decent display during a 2-0 victory over the Clarets and, despite seeing a possible return to Crystal Palace speculated on, Ten Hag insists there are no plans at Old Trafford to consider parting with a useful rotation option.

Manchester United marked their return to competitive action with a 2-0 win over Burnley in the Carabao Cup.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka was out to prove a point as he made his first Old Trafford start since February in the 2-0 Carabao Cup victory over Burnley on Wednesday evening. Furthermore, Ten Hag then has another section headache to contend with. Now United are actively working to find a solution for Wan-Bissaka, who they are willing to move on out of respect for the player.

Marcus Rashford is Manchester United's top scorer this season and found the net for the ninth time as the Red Devils defeated Burnley to reach the EFL Cup ...

At the end of last season, Rashford and his camp assessed what needed to be done, mentally and physically, to get him back to his best. That investment was rewarded with his impressive start to the season, which brought an England recall and a place in Southgate's World Cup squad. As soon as he arrived, Ten Hag made Rashford feel wanted and told him he had complete faith in him, despite his woes last season. The 25-year-old already has nine goals this season, with United boss Erik ten Hag and his staff fully expecting Rashford to go on to score 20-plus. Yet Rashford's slump, which began 18 months ago, was perhaps inevitable, given he played through the pain barrier for United for several years, against the backdrop of injuries and ailments. A year ago, Rashford would not have had the confidence to execute - let alone attempt - such an audacious goal.

ERIK TEN HAG has revealed that Luke Shaw was so keen to play in Manchester United's Carabao Cup tie with Burnley that he offered to play out of posi.

Erik ten Hag believes Aaron Wan-Bissaka has a future at Manchester United despite only making his second appearance of the season on Wednesday.

[told Football Insider.](https://www.footballinsider247.com/solskjaer-is-exposing-wan-bissaka-and-this-is-poor-management-after-man-united-latest-pundit/) “It puts him in a position where you have to be better on the ball than defending one-on-one. There was interest from the London outfit back in the summer about a potential Wan-Bissaka return. The Eagles are seen as part of a potential rescue mission that could enable Wan-Bissaka to rediscover his best form. Ten Hag is very much seeking to lead a Manchester outfit that will, eventually, become the type of team that dominates possession and imposes their style on other teams. [Harry Maguire](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/harry-maguire) was another perceived favourite. Wan-Bissaka had enjoyed a breakout year at [Crystal Palace](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/crystal-palace-fc) and had the young English player premium placed upon him, which eventually saw the Red Devils part with £50m. Danny Mills, a former England right-back, echoed that and claimed the system exposed his flaws. That meant their defenders were more involved in the attack, which didn't play to Wan-Bissaka's strengths. The Norwegian's Manchester exit this time last year was always going to be followed by a reshuffle. He’s had some good years with United, but from the start of this season he had a lot of illnesses and injuries, and so was running behind. The Portuguese star was quick to dislodge Wan-Bissaka following Solskjaer's dismissal. The United boss is very much working his way through assessing the squad he's inherited at Old Trafford.
