Rashford has been causing a sensation both on and off the pitch and was United’s hero in their impressive win over PSG last week, but missed a spot in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s starting eleven for the second clash of the League. Champions of the campaign.
Mason Greenwood’s goal in the first half was all that separated the two teams before a flurry of late goals knocked the hosts out of sight as Rashford rampaged against a tired Leipzig, who were unbeaten in all competitions. before the game.
The England forward even missed an earlier opportunity to take the ball home by allowing Anthony Martial to open his account for the season from the penalty spot in the 87th minute.

Discussing Rashford’s phenomenal cameo in the BT sport study, Ferdinand said: ‘It’s on fire.
‘The only way I can explain the little cameo tonight is that it was almost like being in the school playground and the big boy, the sixth, comes and plays with the first years and just bullies everyone.
Too fast, too strong and he takes the dinner money. He did it all tonight, he was way above them.
“He made defenders that we were in awe of before the game, who we saw last season play very well in the Champions League, he made them look like college boys tonight.”
The former United and England defender added: “It’s about being ruthless, but I thought Upamecano had a nightmare today.
‘This is cruelty. He had no doubt, once he went through there, the confidence he’s showing right now and just his intention to hit the back of the net and get between the goals.
‘Game over. There’s poison when you hit him like that. ‘
Paul Scholes compared Rashford’s clinical finish to that of Ruud van Nistelrooy as he sang his attacker’s praises in his post-match analysis.

You watch it go through it and you know it’s breaking it in the bottom corner.
