DBasia.news – FManchester United’s match against West Ham in the 2022-2023 Premier League has a special meaning for Marcus Rashford. The agile striker managed to complete his goal collection to 100 pieces.
In a match that took place at Old Trafford, Sunday (30/10), Manchester United defeated West Ham 1-0. Rashford scored the only goal for the Red Devils.
Rashford scored for West Ham in the 38th minute. He did so with a header using Christian Eriksen’s cross.
Rashford celebrated the goal with great enthusiasm. He also gestured with his fingers that form the number 100.
Rashford is not the first player to score 100 goals for Manchester United. Before him, there were 21 other names who were able to do so.
But Rashford’s status as a product of the youth academy and a native of Manchester makes this very valuable. One of his dreams has come true.
Rashford scored his first goal for Manchester United on February 25, 2016. Amazingly, he did so in his debut match against Midtjylland in the Europa League.
It took Rashford six years to complete his goal collection to 100 goals. During that period, he often switched roles as a winger and a center forward.
Based on statistics, as many as 64 of Rashford’s goals were created through the contribution of his right foot. While only 8 goals were scored with his left foot.
Interestingly, Rashford fulfilled his 100 goal score with a header. It was the seventh time he had scored against the opponent’s goal with the head.
Rashford also proved himself to be excellent at executing set pieces. From this situation, he was able to score 13 goals and the remaining 8 goals were scored with other body parts.
From this data, Rashford seems to still rely too much on his right foot to score goals. He has to hone his left foot and header again to make him a more perfect striker.
