Marcus Rashford expressed excitement after a standout performance in Manchester United’s Europa League match against FC Twente. “I’m thrilled he’s back. His talent is incredible, just like in the last two seasons when he scored over 30 goals. After today’s display, I’m sure he’s set for an amazing season,” Rashford said, following one of the most impressive moments of the Europa League season.
During Wednesday’s match at Old Trafford, Rashford stunned fans with a brilliant move in the 32nd minute. Facing former Norwich City forward Ricky van Wolfswinkel, the 26-year-old kept the ball in play, performed an elastico, nutmegged Van Wolfswinkel, and passed it perfectly to Lisandro Martinez.
Though Martinez didn’t finish the play, Rashford’s remarkable skill became the highlight of the game. “When Rashford’s at his best, no defender can match him,” a fan commented. Another noted, “Ronaldinho would’ve been proud of that move.”
Recently, Rashford has been showing signs of returning to top form, with the Twente game being further evidence. In the first half alone, he completed four dribbles, created two scoring opportunities, and won all his duels, improving on his performance in past seasons.
Social media buzzed with praise for Rashford’s showing. “Regardless of the outcome, Rashford has been the standout tonight,” one fan tweeted. Another said, “That elastico from Rashford proves he’s back to his best.” Another comment read, “Rashford’s confidence is coming back, and it’s key to his rhythm.”
Fans echoed similar sentiments, with one remarking, “A confident Rashford is a nightmare for defenders,” and another pointing out, “In just the first 20 minutes, Rashford completed 3/3 dribbles, more than his average from last season.”
Shortly after Rashford’s dazzling play, Christian Eriksen scored, sealing a commanding first-half performance for Manche
ster United.
