2. RED HOT RASHFORD

Reiterating what has been said over the last few weeks, Marcus Rashford has been in the form of his life since his return from the World Cup. Yesterday, he was again on fire as he tormented Castagne on the left with his pacey runs as he grabbed his brace and 24th goal of the season.

Not only against Leicester but Rashford proved his worth against an in-form Barcelona which has been defensively commendable this season. Camp Nou has been a fortress for them until Rashford soared through the Blaugrana wall and grabbed a goal and an assist. He aimed to continue the same and he did so!

Apart from the two goals, Rashford’s attacking prowess was instinctive yesterday. He made quick runs, sent in incisive passes and literally played with Leicester’s shabby defending.
