Rashford shines thanks to MU eliminating Ronaldo problem
Since then, Rashford has scored eight goals in nine Premier League matches, taking Man United to third in the table and just five points behind leaders Arsenal. MU also built a solid position in the Champions League group next season, when creating a gap of 7 points compared to the 5th ranked team, Tottenham.
Former player Garth Crooks believes that Man United's impressive form is linked to Ronaldo's departure, because Rashford is allowed to express himself to the maximum.
“I think that Manchester United's results have continuously improved since Cristiano Ronaldo left. And Rashford's presence in the team also increased. He no longer has to play the role of a substitute for a player who longs to cling to past glories, someone more interested in himself than in the team. The problem has been eliminated.”
Man United need to keep winning if they want to enter the title race. In the middle of this week, Man City and Arsenal will clash. And if Arsenal do not win, MU still has the right to dream, having met both Man City and Arsenal in the second leg.
