Marcus Rashford, the best season of his career – On the line to return with “Barcelona” to the UEFA Europa League

Unbeaten in 7 games in all competitions, Manchester United had another good performance at Old Trafford when they hosted Leicester.

Erik ten Hag’s side were largely in control of the game and in the 25th minute Bruno Fernandes set up Marcus Rashford superbly to open the scoring.

The Foxes had several important chances to score in the first half, with Iheanacho having the best chance. The forward could not beat David De Gea, who showed a sensation.

In the second half, the same Marcus Rashford doubled the home team’s advantage (min. 58) and achieved 24 successes this season. This is the best season in the Englishman’s career.

Red Devils’ assist specialist Bruno Fernandes also assisted Jadon Sancho’s 3rd goal (62nd minute).

Thanks to this victory, Manchester United are only two points closer to the 2nd place occupied by their city rivals.

Leicester still remain near the red zone of the standings (14th place), currently 4 points away from the first relegation place.

Next, Manchester United return from the UEFA Europa League play-offs with Barcelona. In the round, the score was 2-2.
