Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal was far from content with his sides victory over Aston Villa and insists they must start finishing games earlier. Marcus Rashfords seventh goal of the season was enough to seal a 1-0 win and three crucial points in the hunt for a top-four place, while confirming Villas relegation to the Championship.But Van Gaal said his side need to up their tempo and take their chances if they are to build momentum and clinch a Champions League spot in the final five games of the campaign. Marcus Rashford scored his seventh goal of the season in a 1-0 win at Old Trafford I was not so pleased with the performance because I think we played too slowly, Van Gaal told Sky Sports.I know it is difficult against a defensively organised team like Aston Villa - they were very compact - but then you need quick possession play and the gaps will exist. We could not do that today.I was happy with the first goal - an important goal. It was a very good switch by Wayne Rooney and a very good assist from Antonio Valencia. He saw Marcus running to the near post and, at the right time, gave the pass. It was superb. Juan Mata was delighted Wayne Rooney has returned to the starting line-up But we have to finish much earlier and then the game will be over and Aston Villa would not show the same motivation at the end, because they were still in the race for a draw.City beat Chelsea 3-0 at Stamford Bridge leaving United three points behind fourth-placed Arsenal, who have a game in hand. Rooneys impressive return Wayne Rooney impresses on return from injury for Manchester United against Aston Villa But Van Gaal said: Of course we are very much in the race for Champions League football and we also take a distance over Southampton and West Ham, who play tomorrow. The three points are very important for us.Momentum is starting when there is a fantastic performance. West Ham was a very good performance, but not fantastic. We have to finish the games earlier, and we didnt do that. Also See: Match report Rooneys impressive return Man Utd stats Get a ￡10 free bet! Kelly Oubre Jersey .

Stiverne stopped Chris Arreola in the sixth round Saturday night, claiming the WBC heavyweight title belt vacated by Vitali Klitschko.Last season saw Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann catapult himself into the pantheon of the worlds elite footballers, becoming a potential Ballon dOr contender alongside the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. The France international starred in Atletis run to the Champions League final, while he was also voted player of the tournament at Euro 2016 in his homeland over the summer.Both campaigns ultimately ended in disappointment for Griezmann, with Atletico being edged out by rivals Real Madrid in the Champions League final, and France suffering a shock defeat to Portugal in the final of the Euro 2016. But on a personal level, the 25-year-olds stock has never been higher, and he is now being reportedly linked with a potential switch to the Premier League. The Football Whispers Index is giving the possibility of Griezmann joining Chelsea a score of 2.6 out of five, while Manchester United are also believed to hold an interest in the player and are rated at 1.2.Both clubs have shown that they are willing to spend big in order to secure top stars in recent years, so it stands to reason that they would be interested in a move for the Atletico superstar. Griezmann has scored six goals for Atletico so far this season Griezmann joined Atletico in the summer of 2014 in a €30 million deal from Real Sociedad. He had been at La Real since his mid-teens and broke into the first-team at the Anoeta as a speedy left-winger.Making his debut as a 19-year-old in September 2009, Griezmann quickly became a vital part of the San Sebastian sides climb from the Spanish second division into La Liga that season, making 39 appearances and scoring six goals.Over the next four seasons, Griezmann continued to develop as his influence at Sociedad steadily grew. His final season at the club saw his goal-scoring instincts start to come to the fore as he scored 20 goals in 50 games. Griezmann was named player of the tournament at Euro 2016 And it was in that scoring touch that Atleti boss Diego Simeone saw even greater potential for Griezmann, and, two years ago, the Argentinian decided his new signing would be better utilised in a central role.Since then, Griezmann has netted 50 times in 81 La Liga games. In that period, only Ronaldo, Messi and Luis Suarez have scored more.If Chelsea and Manchester United are serious about their pursuit of Griezmann, there are some star names who would likely find their places under threat. Griezmann has a 100m euro release clause at Atletico Although, due to Griezmanns versatility and preference for a central role, Eden Hazard and Anthony Martial would perhaps not be direct positional rivals, their status as the most relied upon creative attacking force in their respective teams would come under threat. Lets see how they compare to Griezmann statistically...Eden Hazard Eden Hazard was named PFA Player of the Year and FWA Footballer of the Year for the 2014/15 campaign In the time that Griezmann has been representing the red and white side of Madrid, its faair to say that Hazard has experienced some ups and downs at Chelsea.dddddddddddd.In the Blues title winning 2014/15 campaign, Hazard was phenomenal, scoring 14 goals and laying on nine assists on his way to being crowned PFA Player of the Year and FWA Footballer of the Year. But last season was a disappointing one for Hazard as he was unable to help Chelsea mount a serious defence of their title, scoring just four goals and providing three assists.In the same period of time, Griezmann was much more consistent, scoring 22 league goals both last season and the season before. However, even with Hazards dip in form, he was still able to create more goals for team-mates than the Frenchman, racking up a total of 12 assists since the summer of 2014 to the Atleti mans seven. Hazard has scored twice in the Premier League so far this season And Hazard also dwarfs Griezmann when it comes to chances created, with 177 to 84.The former Lille attacking midfielder is well known for his dribbling skills and his take-on success bests both Griezmann and Martial by some margin. Hazard managed to dribble past his opponent on 65 per cent of his attempts - better than Griezmanns 45 per cent and the United mans 44 per cent.Hazard also boasts a better pass completion rate than Griezmann with 86 per cent to 78 per cent, but Simeones superstar is able to demonstrate greater shot accuracy, with 61 per cent of his efforts finding the target to the Belgians 58 per cent.Anthony Martial Martial has made four starts in the premier League for United this season Martial is a national team-mate of Griezmanns for France, but the two have yet to strike up an effective understanding on the international stage. At Euro 2016, Martial was dropped from the team as the former Real Sociedad man was moved to a more central position - the switch coincided with Didier Deschamps men finding their form and progressing to the final.Martial has featured predominantly on the left wing since signing for United from Monaco in the summer of 2015, but the 20-year-old told Sky Sports in March that he sees his future in a more central role.I just want to help the team, and when I score I am happier, I am a striker and thats how it goes, he said.So with that in mind, Griezmanns potential arrival at Old Trafford may block Martials path to his favoured position. Anthony Martial came of the bench to score his first goal of the season against Stoke Since the beginning of the 2014-15 campaign, Martial has scored 21 goals in 75 appearances between Monaco and Manchester United, a figure some way short of Griezmanns 50. The United youngster also created fewer chances (55 to 84) and has a lower shot accuracy (50 per cent to 61 per cent) than his international colleague.But the two mens take-on success rate is almost identical, with Martial completing just one per cent fewer dribbles than Griezmann, and its a dead heat when it comes to pass accuracy with both players finding a team-mate with 78 per cent of their passes.And, despite creating fewer chances than Griezmann, Martial has provided two more assists.
