And Marcus Rashford.<\/p>\n<h3>Marcus Rashford\u2019s Rise at Manchester United<\/h3>\n<p>Marcus Rashford\u2019s rise at Manchester United has been an extraordinary one. He scored a brace on his senior debut in the Europa League, and then scored another two goals in his first <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/premier-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Premier League<\/a> match, against <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/arsenal\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arsenal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Englishman looked to have a tremendous amount of promise, going on to net the winning goal against sworn rivals <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/manchester-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manchester City<\/a> among others, and has turned out very well.<\/p>\n<p>Rashford is now one of the Red Devils\u2019 best players, being their top scorer this season, and overall brilliant performances. Jadon Sancho relishes the chance to play alongside him, according to the report.<\/p>\n<h3>Manchester United Have the Edge in Jadon Sancho Race<\/h3>\n<p>Marcus Rashford gives Manchester United an edge over the competition in their race for Sancho. They have played together for the England national team, clearly developing a friendship, and would make a formidable partnership in United\u2019s front line should he join.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"5y5ZWX74TQRPlhkYgm5WhQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1206167083\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'5y5ZWX74TQRPlhkYgm5WhQ',sig:'vsU56Ayi7Ody5kemOR3qXF2HDpJIrjQPAmQTxssvX3I=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1206167083',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester United have the edge over the competition in their\u00a0Jadon Sancho\u00a0race in many ways, one of which is Marcus Rashford, according to Laurie Whitwell of The Athletic.
