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.

Scholes wasn’t offside: United progress Had the linesman not flagged Scholes for offside, Manchester United would have progressed to the next round of the Champions League.

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)
