Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford is in good shape.

In the last six league games, there have been five goals and one assist. In the first semi-final in the English League Cup against Nottingham Forest, he scored again – after an impressive solo raid.

Receiving the ball in his own half, the striker rushed past all the home defenders, before clearly finding the gap in the goalkeeper’s first position – right in front of the eyes of England captain Gareth Southgate.

Manchester United, with Victor Nelson Lindelof in the starting line-up, also extended their lead before the break. Freshman Wout Weghorst was quick on the rebound to make it 2-0 and scored his first goal for the club.

Elanga is replaced

Rashford was then substituted early in the second half. In the TV pictures, you can see how the 25-year-old looked uncomfortable and grabbed his ribs.

20-year-old Anthony Elanga was later substituted and I managed to assist him as he played Bruno Fernandes to make it 3-0. Which was also the end result.

Now a comeback awaits you at Old Trafford in a week’s time. The double title winners will face either Newcastle or Southampton in the final at Wembley.
