Imperious Rashford  

Everton put up a spirited performance at Old Trafford but ran out 3-1 losers largely because they don’t create enough chances and when they do, they miss them. Up against an-in form Marcus Rashford, they were no match. He's such a striking figure these days, tall and broad and lean, his pace over distance or in a sprint is exceptional but crucially he thinks so quickly on the ball. His second assist gave Seamus Coleman twisted blood. His 13 goals this season have helped transform his team into a top four side. He is now that rarest of things; a player who can turn a game on his own.
