Last night at Old Trafford, Manchester United booked their place in a major semi-final – thanks to a quality second-half performance against a spirited Colchester side.
Credit to our League Two opponents who were well organised and came to Manchester with a plan. In the end, it took a little bit of brilliance from Marcus Rashford to break the deadlock and send United on their way.
Once again, United’s #10 was the standout performer as his hot-streak continues. The Englishman is already having his best-ever goal-scoring season with 14 goals to his name. We’re in December.
Last night, it would have been oh so easy for Rashford to take Colchester for granted. Instead, he stood up when his teammates needed him the most and ensured his beloved United would make it into the final four.
It’s the pace, the accuracy, the precision of his passing and sheer will to win. We’re watching Rashford mature right before our very eyes. The realisation that he’s still a supremely special talent is sinking in. Oh, and he’s one of our own.
As you’d imagine, United fans took to Twitter to heap praise on the 22-year-old following the display and rightly so. Rashford deserves all the plaudits heading his way at this point in time!
