Marcus Rashford’s latest Old Trafford goal for Manchester United has him emulating Wayne Rooney’s feats.
The England international attacker matched, then surpassed, the Red Devils’ all-time leading scorer earlier this season while netting in nine straight home matches.
Rashford has been on a roll in the Premier League, with the 25-year-old reaching the back of the net in his previous six games in Manchester, becoming the first player to do so since Wayne Rooney in April 2012.
During their individual periods at Old Trafford, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ruud van Nistelrooy only ever managed to score in six consecutive home games across all competitions, implying that Rashford – who has 20 goals this season – has surpassed the efforts of a few club great.The latest strike came in a 2-2 draw with Leeds, as the Red Devils came back from two goals down to win.
