da premier bet： Manchester United secured their first away win since beating Paris Saint-Germain last season but it was no thanks to Marcus Rashford.
da imperador bet： After his heroics against Liverpool, which handed United their mandatory single goal, fans might have been expecting the 21-year-old to kick on – especially facing substantially weaker opposition in Partizan Belgrade. But you’d be wrong, and that’s worrying.
Replacing Anthony Martial on the hour mark, who was making his first start since August, Rashford proceeded to demonstrate exactly why some – including his former boss Jose Mourinho – have questioned his ability to play in the all-important centre-forward position, an increasingly dynamic role in the modern game.
Marauding down the pitch in typical United counter-attacking style, Rashford had the perfect chance to finish the game off in injury time – all he needed to do was find the key pass that was staring at him in the face…
United are reportedly interested in signing Juventus’ Mario Mandzukic in January and, after Rashford’s latest act of incompetency in the striker role, it’s easy to see why.
