Talking Points from Man Utd v RB Leipzig

RAMPANT RASHFORD

With all Marcus’s charitable work in the last week, you’d be forgiven for forgetting about the 22-year-old’s on-field contributions. But, against Leipzig, the striker once again showed his quality. Marcus was introduced just after the hour mark and demonstrated his calmness and composure for his first goal, especially after the assistant-referee’s flag was raised in the build-up. However, our no.10 showed the nous and intelligence to carry on and slot the ball home, which after a VAR check, resulted in a goal. As for the next one, it was all power as he smashed his way through the Leipzig defence and blasted the ball into the back of the net. A superb cameo from the forward. Of course, Marcus wasn’t done there, and he netted his third in injury-time, to score his first United hat-trick.
