PL News: Rashford issues statement to Manchester United fans
Following their 4-2 away at Leicester City, Manchester United's Marcus Rashford issued an interesting statement to their fans.
The Academy graduate was named in the squad for the first time this season, after missing the start of the campaign while recovering from shoulder surgery.
Marcus entered the field as a second-half substitute and quickly scored his first goal of the season latching onto a pass from Victor Lindelof to calmly finish past Kasper Schmeichel.
The goal made it 2-2 at the King Power Stadium, but unfortunately for United the game quickly slipped away.
Speaking with his millions of followers after the match, Rashford admitted he was pleased to return but ultimately frustrated by a difficult defeat.
United's home grown hero posted: “Not the result we wanted on my return.
“Happy to get the goal but the performance as a whole was just not good enough today. It felt great to be back but we have to rebound from this.
“I’m looking forward to getting back on the scoresheet so all eyes are now on Wednesday.”
Despite still being relatively young, Rashford has already managed 89 goals for his boyhood club. He is expected to reach a century of strikes before Christmas and United will believe he can play a key part in United's star studded attacking line-up.
Rashford and Manchester United's next match is against Atalanta in the Champions League. A win for their reds will see them take a giant step into the next stages of the competition.
