Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has praised teammate Marcus Rashford for his spectacular show towards Aston Villa.
United recovered from a two-goal deficit on Wednesday evening to beat Unai Emery’s males 3-2.
John McGinn and Leander Dendoncker gave Villa a commanding lead inside half-hour of play and it appeared like United had been heading for yet one more loss.
Nonetheless, the Pink Devils got here again after the break extra decided. A brace from Alejandro Garnacho and a successful objective from Rasmus Hojlund accomplished the comeback and ensured the staff secured an unlikely win.
Central to the turnaround was Rashford.
The Englishman is actually not having the perfect of seasons by his very excessive requirements however towards Villa, was sensational.
He registered an help for Garnacho’s first objective that set the comeback in movement.
After the ultimate whistle, Fernandes spoke to membership media and recognised Rashford’s important impression on the match.
The Portuguese mentioned, “Marcus [Rashford] was fairly harmful as we speak.”
“I believe for the primary two targets he was concerned and even the one which was offside. He was concerned in all the pieces as we speak, pressurising [the Villa team] too.”
“I believe we may have gotten a number of extra balls in behind to Marcus, as a result of we all know the tempo he has and the motion he has.”
“If we had been higher with the lengthy move, we may have gotten much more out of him.”
To date this time period, Rashford has solely managed two targets, considered one of which was a penalty towards Everton at Goodison Park.
Hopefully, the winger will get some much-needed confidence from his show vs. Villa and at last kicks on within the new yr.
