Manchester United 1-0 Leicester City: 5 men who won the game for Solskjaer | Premier League 2018-19

#1 Marcus Rashford

Leicester City v Manchester United - Premier League

The Englishman is Solskjaer's trump card and scored the all important goal on the night that won United the game. It is clear that the Norwegian thinks very highly of Rashford, which is why he put Lukaku on the bench and started with his young striker at No. 9.

However, early in the game, the move raised a few questions, as Rashford missed an easy opportunity to put United ahead. Yet, perhaps the biggest change in the Englishman under Solskjaer has been his confidence. Young Marcus Rashford is no longer afraid to try and to keep trying and his relentlessness brought United the lead in the 9th minute.

As soon as Pogba received the ball, Rashford knew that he would get the service if he timed his run well. Once he managed to stay onside, he still had a lot to do. First of all, he took the lofted ball into his stride with the perfect first touch and then finished with a ferocious volley that left Schmeichel with no chance.

The English Striker did knock on the door a few more times, but it was his clinical finishing early in the first half that proved to be the difference between the sides.
