After an unbeaten February during which Manchester United knocked Barcelona out of the Europa League and won the Carabao Cup, March was not so much a complete fall from grace as more of a general realisation that Erik ten Hag's Old Trafford project is still a work in progress.
Manchester United defender Tyrell Malacia explains how Marcus Rashford helps him on pitch

The Reds face Sevilla in their Europa League quarter-final before an FA Cup semi-final clash against Brighton at Wembley.
It's been a strong debut season in England for Malacia, but
