Marcus Rashford has been a precious talent for Manchester United. The 21-year-old has been a revelation since his arrival at Old Trafford. Rashford is a kind of player who can contribute offensively as well as defensively. His coordination with Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez will be crucial for the Red Devils once Paul Pogba leaves the club.

The striker scored goals in games in the last season. Rashford has this knack of creating chances for other forwards with his deceptive moves. The England international has been a clever operator during set pieces and has the ability to outclass the opposition at the flanks. Rashford has enjoyed Mourinho’s confidence since his arrival at the club.

Rushford has suffered a hamstring injury recently in a UEFA nations cup game against Spain which might give Manchester United a bit of worry. Jose Mourinho will be hoping for his quick recovery. A player like Rashford adds a lot of variety in the forward line.

Rashford’s goal-scoring abilities make him a constant threat who can unsettle the best defenses combined with his electric runs. Rashford scored 7 goals in 35 games in the last season with 5 assists to his name. Jose Mourinho had stated that Rashford is an integral part of Manchester United’s forward line and has handled the responsibility with maturity.
