Marcus Rashford Becomes Man United’s Mainstay to Fight Man City

DBasia.news –  Defending Premier League champions, Manchester City are the favorites to win when playing the Manchester Derby against Manchester United at Old Trafford in a Premier League match, Thursday (25/4) at 2:00 a.m. WIB.

Manchester United are expected to face difficulties when facing Manchester City. In the previous match, David De Gea and his mates swallowed a 4-0 defeat against Everton.

However, Manchester City is not without a gap. The former Arsenal player, Paul Charles Merson, considered the Citizens defender often struggled when facing players at high speed. It was seen when Son Heung-Min became Man City’s nightmare in the 2018-2019 Champions League quarter-final second leg match.

Merson argues, Manchester United also has players like Son. The player with lightning speed is the attacker, Marcus Rashford.

“Marcus Rashford is very fast and we have seen how Manchester City defender cannot face Son Heung-min who has a similar type. Rashford can be a nightmare for Man City in the derby later,” explained Merson.

“I see another way for the Red Devils to make it difficult for Manchester City. They need to make Rashford use his speed to fight back in defender in a one on one duel.”

At present, Manchester City are racing against Liverpool to be the best in the Premier League 2018-2019. Despite being two points behind, the Citizens have an extra match. That way, if you beat Manchester United, Man City will be at the top of the standings.

“The competition for Manchester City and Liverpool is very tight. Anyone who loses points must say goodbye to the title,” Merson said.

“However, Manchester City have been knocked out of the Champions League so that they have a big chance of winning the Premier League. Because, now Man City has no interference.”

Liverpool are still keeping their 2018-2019 Champions League championship. In the semifinals, Jurgen Klopp’s side will challenge Barcelona.
