February 3, 2021

Manchester United ace Marcus Rashford admits the players didn’t want to relax during their 9-0 rout of Southampton.

Rashford was on the scoresheet in the record win at Old Trafford.

He later said, “It’s always good to score lots of goals and we’re happy, it’s three points we have needed, we dropped some points in the last few games and needed to get back to winning ways which we’ve done.

“We just needed to be as simple as possible, keep moving, be positive. It’s easy to take your foot off the gas but we didn’t want to do that we went out in the second half the same as the first. The first half set the tone for us but it’s about keeping a positive attitude and keep scoring goals.”

On passing Eric Cantona’s on United’s top goalscorers list, he added: “He was a top player who has done so much for this club so I’m pleased but for me I just want to score more goals and help the team.

“We haven’t looked at Liverpool really we are still improving and we need to focus on ourselves. We’re not a ready made team but we have to just keep improving and working on our goals.”
