Marcus Rashford clarified that Manchester United players decide at that time which player to penalize after converting their seventh of the season against Bournemouth.
United won their 17th penalty of the season with the score 1-1 against Bournemouth and Rashford went ahead in place of Bruno Fernandes, who scored all three goals for United.
Fernandes leveled Tottenham from 12 yards last month, but after United received another penalty in halting time, Rashford took the ball until the Assistant Video Referee voided the referee.
Rashford, 22, hit the post with a penalty against Crystal Palace and was thwarted by Norwich goalkeeper Tim Krul earlier in this period, but the most infamous allowed Paul Pogba to take United’s penalty at Wolves with play on deadlock at 1-1.
Rashford had a record 100 percent penalty at the time and had scored one against Chelsea in United’s previous game, however Pogba, who missed with three penalties last season, stepped forward and Rui Patricio did so. he denied and the game ended in a draw.
“The penalties are just penalties,” said Rashford. “We just decided at that time who will take them. As long as the penalty continues [in], it does not worry me “.
Rashford’s successful footer against Bournemouth was his first goal since January and his twentieth of the season on a day when Anthony Martial also scored 20 goals. Rashford missed eight weeks of the season with a double stress fracture on his back and is grateful to be part of the United match.
“It’s definitely a good feeling to endorse goals, but you know for the forwards, you only take one game at a time. Whether you score or not, the next game is always about scoring.”
“That is what I will continue to do, as I have done throughout the season, really. So game by game we want to win games and continue to compete for the trophies we are still in.”
“I want to say how blessed I feel to be healthy again. I’ve had this injury before in the past, but this time it was quite worse than the ones I had before. It was definitely hard news to hear.” “
Mason Greenwood now has 15 goals for the season and if he also breaks the 20-goal barrier, it will be the first time that three United players have done so in a single season since 1964-65, when Denis Law, David Herd and John Connelly helped United to their first championship after the Munich air disaster.
Greenwood, 18, struck twice with each foot against Bournemouth and Rashford is not surprised by his promotion to the first XI. “He’s a fantastic player. I’ve seen him before he got to the first team. It was never a question of whether he was going to play with us, but when. When can we get him involved? Ole has done an excellent job with him.
“First of all, he put him on the team and pitted him against PSG and that for a player, as a first step, is huge and shows that the coach had confidence in him. You have no reason not to have confidence in a player like Mason. .
“But, for me, I’m just telling him to keep doing what he’s doing because what he does is score goals, so he doesn’t need to do anything else. You know, forget everything people do outside, whether it’s praise or negativity
“I enjoy playing with those two players (Martial and Greenwood). I just think there is a massive avalanche of positivity right now and momentum. For us, we want to keep it up.”
“Like today, all three of us scored today. Mason scored two. That’s the kind of momentum we want to pursue. That’s it. He’s really done very well throughout the season. It’s not just these things that have been scoring goals. “
“He’s been working hard for the team and doing the dirty work, you know, the invisible work. He does it to deserve all the credit he gets.”
United scored five goals in a domestic game for the first time since Boxing Day in 2011 against Bournemouth and scored at least five in four of its 16 undefeated matches.
“I remember doing some interviews earlier in the season and he was saying that progress had been made and that we are continuing to move forward,” Rashford recalled. “But, you know, it’s easy for me to see the progress because I train with the guys every day. I see that we get better day after day. For the fans, sometimes the only time they see it is on game day.”
“You know as well as we do that some game days don’t go their way. It may seem like there is no progression, but 100 percent of this team has progressed since the start of the season.”
“The manager has helped us a lot. He has stayed with us in difficult times and we have listened and tried to take into account what he says and what he wants us to deliver in the field.”
“Where we are now, it’s getting closer to what we imagined, but there is still a lot of work to be done to become a challenge for the Premier League again. It is definitely exciting.”
