Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United - Premier League
There's nothing one can say about Marcus Rashford that has not been said already. The youngster has showed tremendous will power to break free of the shackles enforced by Mourinho and is perhaps the most dangerous player in the league on current form. The fact that he has restricted Lukaku to a bench role speaks volumes of his qualities. It also shows the trust bestowed on him by his manager and it is now clear that Marcus Rashford is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's main man at Old Trafford.

If he had looked confused and disoriented under Mourinho, the Englishman has looked inspired and committed under his new boss. He is the epitome of desire, determination and confidence now. His finishing has suddenly improved and his tricks and abilities on the ball have constantly drawn comparisons to a Portuguese superstar who also broke through the ranks as a teenager.
But it is the threat that Rashford carried in his name now that has created all the difference for United. Teams have began to fear the United attack, because they know the youngster is capable of anything on current form. Rashford, in turn, has thrived in the pressures of expectations. He is, after all, United's best player right now.

Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
