Local mates helping Man Utd striker Rashford snap form slump | OneFootball

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has leaned on his local mates to help him snap his form slump.

A week ago, an indoor kickabout with his mates was held down the road from Old Trafford, where they have played since he was a kid growing up in Wythenshawe.

For Rashford, it was a case of getting back to basics and remembering what took him to United in the first place, says the Daily Mail.

It paid off, too. Interim manager Ralf Rangnick may have been playing teenager Anthony Elanga in Rashford's position wide on the left, but the England man has come off the bench in the last two games to score twice in the space of four days.

If the well-taken goal at Brentford merely confirmed United's 3-1 victory, his close-range effort in the final minute of added time on Saturday was decisive in nudging United ahead of West Ham in the race for the top four.
