The Manchester United player demonstrated that he had regained his form during the Europa League match at Old Trafford by executing a breathtaking feat of skill while rushing at Ricky van Wolfswinkel.
The ball passed through Van Wolfswinkel’s knees as he ran at his opponent, but Rashford quickly hooked it back into his path with his toe after flicking it wide of his step.
Two legendary Brazilian football players, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, made the move famous. They executed it brilliantly, using speed, strength, and flair to confuse their opponents.
“It’s fantastic wing play,” stated Micky Gray during a talkSPORT commentary.Recall the move made by the Brazilian Ronaldo, where he sent a fantastic cross through his legs.
“All you have to do is look at the body language from Marcus, it’s completely different to last season.”
He went on to say, “It was class, which is why we get frustrated with players like Marcus Rashford,” before halftime.
“Last season, he must have run at defenders too many times to count on two hands, but tonight, he’s getting at them.”Gray went on: “He’s running at players, he’s confident, and his shoulders are back.”
“What I’m seeing is amazing, and it will only get better.”
Rashford scored just eight goals in 43 games for Manchester United last season, appearing to be a shadow of the player he once was.
With three goals and an assist so far this season, the 26-year-old attacker is keeping supporters on the edge of their seats with his performances.
Erik ten Hag says Rashford’s progress can be attributed to managing his lifestyle.
“I think he always knew, and every player knows, because when your lifestyle is not right you can’t perform,” stated the Dutch manager.When you don’t lead a decent and orderly life away from Carrington, you don’t achieve the desired results.
He must complete it on his own in the end. He needs to get his life in order, as well as his training and match attitudes. He is a quality player, thus he will perform when he puts his professionalism in place.
“Marcus Rashford is aware of how to bounce back from setbacks and maintain his performance and career.” He took charge of it, and it appears that he is headed back. He has had a strong start to the season; now he must keep going and advance.Rashford’s skill was evident, though, on a frustrating night for United, as they were unable to secure a winning start to their Europa League campaign.
The Red Devils led 1-0 at the break thanks to a powerful strike from Christian Eriksen, but Sam Lammers’ goal on 68 minutes handed the Dutch team a point as he broke through the heart of the United midfield and defense and beat Andre Onana at the near post.
