Marcus Rashford breaks down outrageous mid-air skill that Newcastle couldn't stop

Marcus Rashford has opened up on the outrageous trick that started the move for his goal against Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final.

The attacker is in red-hot form and scored five minutes before half-time to seal the win for Manchester United on Sunday as they lifted their first trophy for six years. As well as finishing off the move, thanks in part to a deflection from Sven Botman, Rashford was key in creating the chance.

As a long ball was sent forward, Rashford jumped into the air to control, with his left leg raised higher than his right. As the ball came past him, the Englishman flicked it with his left heel onto his right heel and into the path of Wout Weghorst, a remarkable piece of inventiveness from a player on top of his game.
