Marcus Rashford is not as good as Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Let’s just get that out of the way right now.
That said, the 19-year-old may be good enough to put Manchester United back in the Champions League. With a Europa League title up for grabs, which would clinch the Red Devils a place in Europe’s glamor competition, Rashford came through with a gorgeous goal to earn Manchester United a 1-0 away win in the first leg of their semifinal against Celta Vigo.
Sublime free kicks are a new wrinkle in Rashford’s game. Largely a fast player with a knack for finding a sliver of space between opposing defenders, Rashford has grown this season and is becoming a more well-rounded player.
