Top Contenders for the Manchester United Player of the Year: March 2019

#2 Marcus Rashford

Leicester City v Manchester United - Premier League

The English youngster continued his good form in the month of February but has still dropped down to second place. Rashford started the month with a brilliant finish against Leicester City, scoring the goal that won his side the game. He was rested for the following game against Fulham and the game against PSG proved to be a reality check for him. The Englishman started the match but failed to make an impact against the French champions.

However, he made up for it in the very next game against Chelsea by setting Paul Pogba up with an exquisite cross which helped United progress to the next round of the FA Cup. Even though he failed to score in the 0-0 draw against Liverpool, Rashford gave a great account of his tenacity and maturity. Despite picking up an early injury, he continued to play on, taking one for the team and ensuring that a point was secured against their arch-rivals.

He started on the bench in midweek against Crystal Palace, coming on for the last 13 minutes. Rashford currently has 10 goals and 8 assists from 34 games this season and at the start of March, is second among the top contenders for the Manchester United Player of the Season.
