Former England striker Alan Shearer believes Marcus Rashford is 'relishing' the responsibility of being Manchester United's 'main man' this season, after scoring the winner in Wednesday night's 1-0 win over Brentford at Old Trafford.
Rashford netted the only goal of the game after 27 minutes, slamming the ball home from close range after connecting with Marcel Sabitzer's downward header. That was enough for the Reds to seal a return to winning ways and put a three-game winless run in the Premier League behind them.
It marked the academy graduate's 28th goal of the campaign in all competitions and his 19th at Old Trafford, meaning he became the first United player since Wayne Rooney in 2011/12 to score 19 M16 goals in a single season. He started in the centre of the front-three against the Bees after Jadon Sancho came into the side to replace Wout Weghorst, meaning the pressure was on his shoulders to deliver the goods.
