Marcus Rashford has become the hero of Manchester United’s latest victory, a 1-0 win against Brentford in the Premier League on Wednesday, April 5, 2023. The Red Devils had previously slipped to fifth place in the standings after losing 2-0 to Newcastle United on Sunday, but Erik ten Hag’s players managed to climb back to fourth with three crucial points thanks to Rashford’s goal in the 27th minute.
As an international player for England, Rashford expressed his delight at contributing to his team’s success and returning them to a top-four position in the Premier League standings. “We are in a period of the season where every match is important and every game counts, so we’re happy to win and hopefully we can get back to where we were a few weeks ago,” Rashford said. “The most important thing is always to win matches. While we may not always play our best every week, we won’t drop our standards and will keep pushing every week.”
Rashford admitted that he had been working on his patience and waiting for the right moment to take control of the ball and score. He said that Manchester United’s goal for the season was to finish in the top four in the Premier League, while also aiming to win two other competitions, the FA Cup and Europa League.
The Red Devils have already reached the semifinals of the FA Cup and the quarterfinals of the Europa League, and are hoping to add more trophies to their collection after winning the Carabao Cup in February. Rashford and Casemiro scored the goals in the 2-0 win against Newcastle, and the player is ready to keep pushing his team to victories in the upcoming matches.
“That’s the goal, we want to get as many points as possible, and we’ll try to win every game,” Rashford said. “We just have to keep playing well, giving our best, recovering well, and moving on to the next game.”
Manchester United’s next Premier League match will be against Everton at Old Trafford on Saturday, April 8, 2023. With Rashford’s contribution, the team hopes to maintain their winning momentum and continue climbing up the league table.
