Bruno Fernandes is the best player at Manchester United since he came into the side during the January transfer window but during the first half of the season, it was Marcus Rashford who was gathering all the accolades.
Rashford is having his best season at the club since his debut and so far the England international has scored 15 goals in the Premier League. But out of those only one has come since the resumption of the league.
Many fans have been suggesting a dip in form but Bruno Fernandes has come out to hail Marcus Rashford as the unsung hero during the past couple of weeks.
He told the club’s official website: “Like you saw last night [Thursday], Mason [Greenwood] scored a beautiful goal again and Anthony [Martial] and Marcus did very well,
“I think everyone is talking about Marcus not scoring a lot of goals but he is doing an amazing job.
“The game he is playing now, maybe he is not achieving his goals and everything but, with everything we are doing now, he will achieve more goals and more assists. In the games, in complete football, because football is not just about goals and assists, it is about the team and Marcus is playing very well for the team.
“I hope Marcus can find more goals because he deserves it for the work he is doing for the team, and nobody sees it because everyone sees the goals and who scores and assists. The work he is doing for the team is amazing.
“Marcus was injured for a long time so it’s difficult to find that confidence again, to do things like shoot from far out. But he is doing an amazing job for the group and I think he deserves credit for this.”
Apart from scoring 15 goals in the league, Marcus Rashford has also provided eight assists so far in the top division which in itself is a great tally.
Also, he has just returned from a long injury lay-off so it will take some time before he can get back to his peak form and we have a feeling that the England international will take the remainder of the season to get back into the groove.
