It wasn't convincing, but Man United pulled out three points at the absolute death on Saturday against West Ham thanks to a last-minute winner from Marcus Rashford, who scored in his second-straight game as a substitute after netting vs. Brentford earlier in the week.
Following the victory, Red Devils boss Ralf Rangnick spoke on how Rashford can continue to have a key role for the side moving forward while praising his qualities in the process.
“He's one of the top strikers in England,” the Man United manager said. “He's an England international who regularly played in the European Championship, we know the qualities he has.
“He has almost everything a modern striker needs. He's got the pace, skills, he's got the size and physicality of a striker and in the end, it's all about confidence for strikers and I'm pretty sure those two goals will have raised the level of confidence with Marcus and now it's about taking steps, it's about continuity now.”
Rashford finished off a fantastic team goal with a composed finish thanks to a picture-perfect assist from Edinson Cavani, where the Englishman simply just had to tap it in. Man United desperately needed the result as well as they continue to fight for a top-four spot. For the time being, they're in fourth place, but depending on what Tottenham does against Chelsea on Sunday, that could change.
Nonetheless, it's two wins in a row for United and Rashford seems to be finding his form. That's nothing but a positive for the Red Devils.
