Marcus Rashford’s response after his team’s FA Cup match loss to West Ham on March 1 was something that Manchester United supporters could not help but admire. The United team overcame a goal deficit to defeat the struggling Hammers 3-1 in the Premier League.
Said Benrahma gave David Moyes’ team the lead in the 54th minute, but they were soon beaten when Nayef Aguerd scored an own goal while under pressure from Wout Weghorst.
As the game lurched towards a draw, Alejandro Garnacho rose to the occasion and curled a stunning goal past Alphonse Areola. Midfielder Fred then sealed the victory by steering in a goal in stoppage time.
Rashford was ready for action It was yet another win for Erik Ten Hag’s side, who are now unbeaten in 19 games at Old Trafford. The win was a bit different from what fans have gotten used to in recent months, as Rashford was not on the scoresheet this time.

However, the 24-year-old was ready for action as soon as United conceded the first goal. An interesting photo has emerged online showing Rashford asking Anthony Elanga for his shirt as he prepared to come on for his side, who were trailing at the time.
The photo, shared on ESPN’s Twitter, was a clear demonstration of the elite mentality Rashford currently has and the confidence that scoring for his team has brought to his game. Rashford clearly believed he was going to come on and score and help his side to extend their unbeaten run at Old Trafford.
The England forward currently has 25 goals this season across all competitions. Meanwhile, United’s quadruple hopes are still alive as they will face Fulham in the quarter finals of the FA Cup.
