area and getting into the box now
rashford's up front as a as a
traditional nine if they want to thicken
things up we could see Bruno Fernandez
in the false nine roll drop gacho and
rashford to the wings and just be a
little bit thicker when they don't have
the
ball so with Sunshine peeking through
typical mancunian
clouds everyone is set to go under the
watchful eye of referee Andy

mctom as he makes the Run he doesn't
want to and he B rashford he will not
hit a sweeter ball all
season he's only scored five this season
but that was a a strike from a a striker
like he scored 30 or 40 goals that is
phenomenal well the plain fact is he
hasn't scored 30 or 40 he's just got 10
in his last 50 appearances prior to
