Manchester United's Victory Over Leeds Is Proof That Marcus Rashford Deserves To Be On The Best Striker List In Europe

JAKARTA - Manchester United won 2-0 when they visited Leeds United on the 23rd matchday of the English Premier League at Elland Road Stadium, Sunday, February 12.

Two goals from the Red Devils were scored by Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho in the second half, respectively.

After the match, Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, praised Rashford's performance. In fact, he did not hesitate to call his team one of the best strikers in Europe today.

"He must be one of them. He has skills. I was sure from the first time I met him. I was very excited to work with him. I thought I could get more from him," said Ten Hag, after the game.

"He has so much skill and high potential and can even be more. When he works well he will score more goals because he can score goals with his left, right and head," continued the Dutchman.

According to Ten Hag, there are several things that can support Rashford to perform even better. In addition to placing him in the right position, the England international must also get full support from his teammates.

This was clearly seen in the match against Leeds. Rashford's goal started with Luke Shaw's beautiful pass when the player was in the right position.

"And finally, a good cross from Shawy (Luke Shaw) and Marcus was at the right time there. And once again it was a good step from Wout Weghorst at the front post," said Ten Hag.

This victory made the Red Devils remain in third place with 46 points from 23 matches. They are two points behind Manchester City who are in second place.

Meanwhile, with Arsenal in first place, Manchester United are five points behind.
