Man Utd star Marcus Rashford looks back to his very best, he was full of energy and running against Liverpool

MARCUS RASHFORD looks like he came back with a spring in his step after scoring for England against Bulgaria last week.

I saw him play against West Ham and Newcastle recently and there was a complete lack of movement in his game.

But on Sunday he was full of running and energy, giving Liverpool’s back four problems all match.

He played up front but also split the Liverpool defence with Daniel James, which allowed Andreas Pereira to come through as a No 10 at times.

Rashford’s movement for the goal was superb which gave him the room for James to find him with a brilliant cross. It was exactly what a proper centre-forward should be doing.

When you’re later into your career, you realise that even if you aren’t given chances, you cannot afford to stop finding space with your movement.

Rashford is playing in a very average team right now where he has to feed off scraps, so he deserved his standing ovation at the end when he was replaced by Anthony Martial.

In a column at the start of the season, I wrote that it was a massive gamble to go with Rashford, Martial and Mason Greenwood as the only strikers after Manchester United let Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez join Inter Milan.

It’s unfair to have all that pressure on Rashford, but Martial’s return from injury could now ease the burden on him for goals.
