Manchester United beat Aston Villa 3-2 on Boxing Day after coming back from two goals down to score three in the final half an hour.

Marcus Rashford, who has struggled for form this season, was involved in a great move which saw Alejandro Garnacho pull one back, only for it to be ruled out for offside. That didn’t deter him though, creating another chance for Garnacho minutes later which wasn’t ruled out.

Speaking after the game, captain Bruno Fernandes sang the praises of our no.10 in an interview with MUTV.

Marcus was pretty dangerous today. I think for the first two goals he was involved and even the one that was offside. He was involved in everything today, pressurising [the Villa team] too.

I think we could have got a few more balls in behind to Marcus, because we know the pace he has and the movement he has. If we were better with the long pass, we could have got even more out of him.
