When Manchester United have needed the upper hand this season, Marcus Rashford has provided just that. The Englishman seems like an almost new signing under the management of Erik Ten Hag. 

The attacker has played in two roles this season - as a centre forward and as a left sided forward. He has preferred to play off the left and that’s where he’s producing his best football. 

Rashford had a poor season in the last campaign, managing a total of six goal contributions in the entire Premier League campaign. The Englishman has seven goals alone in 17 games so far this season. 

The 25 year old has a total of 10 goals and assists so far this season in the Premier League alone - a much improved return. Rashford has scored in each of his last five games for the club. 

Rashford has removed any doubts that people had over his possible long term future at the club. He has become the centre piece of Ten Hag’s new look United side.
