Marcus Rashford grabbed the ball under his arm like a trophy and strolled out of the Old Trafford with a broad smile. Three goals in just 30 minutes were the impressive performance of England’s young star in Manchester United’s 5-0 (1-0) Champions League draw against Bundesliga goalie RB
Leipzig. It was a special evening for a special football professional who did not lose his modesty even at the moment of success. He didn’t want to be the center of attention, “it’s just about the team and winning,” Rashford said at “DAZN.
” Only in the 63rd minute had the 22-year-old attacker been replaced. Until the whistle, he had beaten Leipzig almost alone with his goals (74th/78th/90th/+2). “Marcus Rashford turned three chances into three goals. He’s a good player, we knew that before,” said RB coach Julian Nagelsmann with appreciation.
Rashford is far more than just a good kicker. His social commitment is exemplary. The fact that poorer children get fed is probably even more important to him than goals or titles. Rashford sent an open letter to the government, among other things, to ensure that free lunches were also distributed to needy children during England’s summer holidays.
However, Parliament does not want to continue the £120 million action. Especially now that the second wave of corona hits the poorest in the country with full force. The media response to the decision is devastating, especially Prime Minister Boris Johnson is under criticism.
