Getting To Know Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford

It`s been a good couple of days for Manchester United who not only got closer to a Premier League spot that takes them to the Champions League but also got passed FC Midtjylland in the Europa League in a very convincing manner. There’s also the win against Arsenal and possibly, most importantly, the fact that LVG seems to have discovered the player who will complete an attacking line ready to take Europe by storm in a couple of years. Marcus Rashford is the youngster’s name, a name who will hopefully become part of a generation worthy of being compared to the Class of ’92. It`s a long way to the top but hopefully Rashford, Depay, Martial, Lindgard, Cameron Borthwick-Jackson and Shaw will get there in a couple of years.

Focusing on the guy who scored 4 goals in 2 vital matches for Manchester United we can see that this kid did not come from nowhere. He is United’s Youth Team captain and a U18 England international who just needed the chance to express himself. With just the right amount of trust and proper guidance, the club can turn Rashford into the striker that can make fans forget about rumors that link Higuain or Cavani to a move to Old Trafford.

There’s a strong feeling that Rashford will continue making appearances for Manchester United given his current form so why not learn a thing or two about the youngster whose career has taken a turn for the best.
