In this dire spell for Manchester United, much of the slack has fallen at the feet of Marcus Rashford.

Due to the departures of Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku in the summer, the goalscoring responsibilities have been squarely placed on the shoulders of the young Englishman. But having scored just three league goals before this game, the 21-year-old's quality had started to come under question.

Today, in the biggest game of United’s season thus far, the youngster stepped up and carried his teammates in attack.

In an all-round performance, Rashford successfully executed 4 take-ons, completed 11 passes, attempted 2 shots on goal, created 1 chance and scored United’s only goal of the game.

Just because he’s been playing at the top level for four seasons, people seem to forget how young the striker is. And today, we were reminded of his undeniable quality.
