Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick was delighted for Marcus Rashford following his dramatic late winner against West Ham United in the Premier League.
At Old Trafford, the Red Devils faced a difficult battle against the Hammers. Neither team appeared likely to score until the last seconds, when Rashford scored with a tap-in at the far post.
United have briefly climbed into fourth place in the league rankings as a result of the win. Rangnick lauded the club graduate after the game, saying he is one of the best attackers in the country.
The German manager was impressed with his exploits against the Hammers and believes that the 24-year-old can now find consistency after gaining confidence by scoring in consecutive league games
He said via Manchester Evening News: “He’s one of the top strikers in England. He’s an England international who regularly played in the European Championship, we know the qualities he has.”
“He has almost everything a modern striker needs. He’s got the pace, skills, he’s got the size and physicality of a striker and in the end, it’s all about confidence for strikers.
Rashford had a difficult game against Wolverhampton Wanderers earlier this month, in which he made many questionable decisions before being substituted.
Due to an injury, he was unable to play in the following game and has since sat on the bench. Rashford has lately scored against Brentford and West Ham, proving that the selection was beneficial.
Yesterday’s winner was simple, but he was in the right place at the right time to secure three crucial points for the club. Hopefully, he can keep the momentum going after the interval.
United’s next competitive match will be against Middlesbrough in the fourth round of the FA Cup on February 4. Rashford, who has scored in previous cameo outings, could be a strong candidate for the starting spot.
