When the electronic board was raised in the 64th minute at Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon, it was surprising to see Marcus Rashford substituted off the pitch for Anthony Elanga. Not much seems to make sense at Manchester United anymore.
Rashford made his 200th Premier League appearance for United at the weekend. He wouldn't have started in that match if United had the luxury of more attacking options. Rashford has struggled all season, he's endured an overwhelmingly difficult campaign and didn't deserve to start against Everton based on form, but he did make the starting XI and it was yet another precious opportunity.
Although Rashford has regularly failed to take such chances this term, he looked determined not to make the same mistake against Everton. Rashford started the game well and looked bright from the first whistle. The difference in Rashford was stark.
