Marcus Rashford is likely to retain his role in Manchester United’s starting line-up to face Everton in what will be his first visit to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
The reaction to Marcus Rashford’s first start of the season, in Manchester United’s 5-2 win over Ipswich Town, was mostly positive.
Rashford has a lot more to do to redeem himself at United. The Old Trafford faithful will get behind anyone who works hard for the shirt, as he proved on the left flank against the Tractor Boys.
The 28-year-old surely played his way into United’s XI for the upcoming trip to Everton. He will be looking to replicate his most recent performance against the Toffees.
Marcus Rashford completed brace in 4-0 win over Everton
Rashford hasn’t played against Everton since December 2024, which explains why he hasn’t yet played at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
In his last outing against the Toffees, Rashford played the entire match, registering two goals from three shots.
Rashford’s first goal at Old Trafford that night came in the 34th minute as he struck a low half-volley from a Bruno Fernandes corner. The ball took a slight deflection off Jarrad Branthwaite, and there was very little Jordan Pickford could’ve done about it.
Just 16 seconds into the second half, Amad Diallo won back possession after pressing high up the pitch. The Ivory Coast winger, who will miss the game against Everton on Sunday, then squared the ball for Rashford to finish from close range to complete his first Premier League brace since February 2023.
