Video: Rashford exhibits sublime piece of skill to beat his opponent with elastico nutmeg

While not getting ahead of themselves, Manchester United fans are keeping their fingers crossed that Marcus Rashford’s confidence continues growing the way it has throughout September.

Against Southampton a fortnight ago, the forward finally put an end to his prolonged wait to open his account for the season, doing so with a scintillating strike at St. Mary’s.

Rashford proceeded to notch a brace and an assist in the subsequent Carabao Cup triumph over Barnsley, enjoying a stellar showing across the night as the Reds trumped the visitors 7-0.

He was made to settle for an off-the-bench cameo at Selhurst Park over the weekend but returned to the starting XI for tonight’s Europa League opener versus FC Twente and, in the first half, displayed a remarkable piece of skill to beat his opponent with an elastico nutmeg.
