Marcus Rashford opened his scoring account this season when he scored the second goal for Manchester United against Southampton in the fourth round of the Premier League.
The England international has been absent from scoring for a long time, reaching 189 days, and has been subjected to severe criticism since his level declined significantly last season.
While United were leading thanks to a goal by Matthijs de Ligt, Rashford was able to increase the Red Devils’ lead after a shot that deceived goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale in the 41st minute.
In the English Premier League, this is Rashford’s first goal since his goal against Everton from a penalty kick in the twenty-eighth round, specifically on March 9, 2024.
In general, the last goal scored by the England international last season dates back to the Liverpool match in the FA Cup quarter-finals, on March 17.
Coach Erik ten Hag’s support for Rashford has not stopped, and he has always stressed that he trusts the player to return to the level he showed in the Dutchman’s first season at Old Trafford.
It is noteworthy that Rashford scored 30 goals and made 11 others the season before last, then his level declined last season, scoring only 6 goals, which was the reason for his exclusion from England’s Euro 2024 list.
