Ian Wright has praised Manchester United's Marcus Rashford for his performance against Arsenal on Sunday afternoon.
Erik ten Hag has started Rashford down the middle in recent weeks and that decision has paid dividends. United have defeated Liverpool, Southampton, Leicester and Arsenal with Rashford at centre-forward and he's looked dangerous in attack.
The England international has contributed three goals and two assists across those wins and that impressive tally includes a brace against Arsenal at the weekend. Rashford found the back of the net twice against Arsenal and his goals ensured United won the game.

Arsenal legend Wright was supporting his former club at Old Trafford, but he admitted on Tuesday that he was happy for Rashford to score. Wright lauded Rashford's performance and explained that the forward is a player that thrives with confidence.
"I was really pleased for Rashford because – it was the same as the Liverpool game – he's another one of those players that everything he does is quite defining," Wright told his podcast. "If he misses that [first goal], it goes to that place of real negativity again.
"What I've seen from him up until this point, especially with the last two goals he's scored, is somebody that thinks 'If I'm going through, I'm scoring'. I can't complain about that because Arsenal went there with the right attitude.
"I thought Man United, in the current climate, you don't want those players to get confidence. [Christian] Eriksen is the one and Rashford looks reborn, he's putting the pot on the fire because he's ready to cook. He looks in that instant, unstoppable.
"The only thing that is going to stop him is if the pass isn't good enough, or his touch isn't good enough. Both of the finishes got a little clip off somebody, but he's getting the luck now. With his pace, he is f****** dangerous."
