UEFA Europa League 2019-20, Manchester United 3-0 Partizan Belgrade: 5 Men who were brilliant for the Red Devils

#2 Marcus Rashford

Manchester United v Partizan: Group L - UEFA Europa League

The Englishman put his foot down right from the start of the game and drove at the opposition as a man possessed. His understanding with Martial was a treat to the eyes, as the two of them tore the defence apart with their silky build-up play. Rashford was a continuous threat throughout the first half but failed to score, despite coming close a couple of times. However, the Englishman continued to strive for excellence and put in a shift on the pitch.

Rashford dropped deep to pick up the ball and was heavily involved in the build-up play. After the break, he picked up pace and looked desperate to add a goal.

His moment arrived in the 49th minute after Juan Mata’s beautifully timed long ball to Ashley Young was cushioned into Rashford’s path by the United skipper. The Englishman hit a sweet first-time volley that gave Stojkovic no chance. It was a goal that took the game away from Partizan and gave United full control of the proceedings.
