Since Crowe's departure, Manchester United have been transformed, advancing to the last eight of the EFL Cup not long ago, and then in the Premier League at home in the early hours of Wednesday morning (28th), thrashing Nottingham Forest by a score of 3-0 to record the team's biggest league victory in the last eight months. Rashford continued his excellent form from the World Cup, scoring two solo goals and contributing an assist, proving that he has become the new leader of United's forward line.
United's victory in this match came easily and comfortably, breaking the deadlock just 19 minutes into the game. Keith Eriksen headed in a corner and Rashford was quick to grab it with a powerful shot, proving himself once again after scoring in the last round of the EFL Cup. Just three minutes later, Rashford crossed from the left to Anthony Martial, who scored an easy second goal to seal the win in the first half.
In the second half, United manager Jens Ten Hagar made frequent substitutions, allowing substitutes such as Ganadzu, Windiak and Fite to get a workout. Fite seized the opportunity to prove his worth and made it 3-0 near the end of the game from a cross by compatriot Casmiro, marking the first time these two Brazilian internationals have scored jointly for United in the Premier League.
Rashford has been voted man of the match. The 25-year-old striker has been in the doldrums in recent years, scoring only five goals in 32 appearances for Manchester United last season, but has exploded this season, scoring 10 goals and delivering four assists in 21 matches, which means that the number of goals scored in a half-season has more than doubled that of last season. In addition, he scored three goals for England in the World Cup, more than the team's top scorer Harry Kane, "Foo" outbreak for Manchester United and the England national team is a big news.
It's worth noting that the last time Manchester United won a Premier League match by three or more goals was back in early May this year at home against Binford. Another big win this time around proves that the decision to terminate Crowe's contract last month was the right one. United are now only one point behind fourth-place Tottenham, and with one less game to play, the race for the top four spots in the Premier League is looking quite promising.
