Goals scored as sub- 2

Marcus Rashford has started just 4 of the 8 games in the Premier League he has been involved in, with Mourinho preferring to use his pace and power in the later stages, to stretch the tired opposition defense. While he has always looked lively, Rashford had not been influencing game until recently. However, both of Rashford's 2 goals in the Premier League this season have come from the bench.

After picking up a red card in the game against Burnley which saw him suspended for two games, the English youngster returned to the bench against West Ham and watched his team go behind 2-0 in the first half. He came on in the 57th minute, replacing Victor Lindelof and in the 71st minute, gave Manchester United a thin ray of hope, scoring his first of the season. However, United succumbed to a 3-1 defeat in the game.

Rashford started the next 3 games and picked up a vital assist against Chelsea, but could not find the back of the net. This saw him relegated to the bench again, as United went to visit Bournemouth. As has been the case in recent games, the Red went behind in the 11th minute.

In the 56th minute, Mourinho opted to replace Juan Mata with Rashford, with the score still at 1-1. In the 92nd minute, Rashford scored the winner as United rallied back yet again to win the game 2-1.
