Manchester United scored a goal feast when they hosted Leicester City at Old Trafford in the 2022/2023 Premier League continuation. The two goals scored by Marcus Rashford made history for him.
First he managed to equal Cristiano Ronaldo's record at MU. Ronaldo managed to score 24 goals for the Red Devils last season and made him the top scorer.
Second, Rashford equaled Wayne Rooney's record of being able to score goals in seven consecutive matches sometimes alone in the Premier League.
Netizens believe Rashford will surpass this record. Considering that in every match, this 25-year-old footballer always finds the opponent's goal.
Here are a number of netizens' tweets about Rashford:
