Rashford shows enormous confidence in Porto thriller 💪

Rashford shows enormous confidence in Porto thriller 💪

Marcus Rashford is often scrutinized at Manchester United, but his performance on Thursday exudes a lot of confidence.

Erik ten Hag’s side traveled to Porto in the Europa League, and the England international was key in the opening 20 minutes.

Rashford broke the deadlock after beating three defenders in the penalty area and firing a powerful shot past goalkeeper Diogo Costa at his near post.

He then set up the second goal, again causing problems for Porto down the left wing.

Rashford made a run and timed his pass to Rasmus Højlund perfectly, with the Denmark international scoring his first of the season despite Costa getting a hand in it.

Rashford almost had a third involvement a few minutes later, with the goalkeeper forced into a final save. It is now six goals for him in his last five starts.

Quite a confidence boost.
