Marcus Rashford is playing like a weight has been taken off his shoulders. The Manchester United boy has often been a target for critics during the 2021/22 campaign, but he’s playing much better since Erik Ten Hag has taken over the team. He scored the only goal of the Red Devils’ win over West Ham on Sunday, increasing his seasonal tally to seven goals, which is already two more than he managed throughout the previous campaign.##NAJAVA_MECA_6767700##After becoming only the 22nd player to score 100 goals for Manchester United, Rashford insists that the challenging period is firmly behind him.”To be honest, it’s a completely different energy around the whole club and the training ground. That puts me in a better headspace, and I just feel motivated now. That’s where I struggled at times last season. Just mental things and not really my own performance. It was other things off the pitch and that’s the biggest difference from this season.”100 goals for this special club! I’ve been here since I was 7 years old and came through every single age group and played on every single pitch so I want to thanks all the staff, my family and team mates that have helped make this achievement possible 💯 pic.twitter.com/GRplZmcY4y— Marcus Rashford (@MarcusRashford) October 30, 2022 Marcus also expressed his happiness at the victory over David Moyes’ Hammers. The Reds put on a good defensive display and denied visitors a late equalizer.”It’s hard work to win like that. I don’t think we played our best, but I think if we want to reach our ambitions for the season, then we’re going to have to win games like that. We obviously want to perform better, but it’s nice to win in that way as well.”It’s looking like a good year for the guy who only turned 25 today. He looks like he’ll be one of his county’s most valuable asset when World Cup kicks off in Qatar.Rashford’s 100th Man Utd goal and De Gea’s wonder saves bring important three pointsHappy 25th birthday Marcus Rashford 💫 🎉. pic.twitter.com/7U9ou7T6wM— Mozzart Bet Kenya (@mozzartbetkenya) October 31, 2022 Rashford and United face Real Sociedad in the Europa League on Thursday, aiming to secure the top spot in their group.
