Marcus Rashford is in unstoppable form, scoring against Nottingham Forest in their FA Cup win to secure a semi-final spot. The United academy graduate has scored his 10th goal in as many games, and has been on quite the streak since the end of the World Cup.
Rashford has been the star player for the Reds in recent weeks, and was also on target during their recent defeat against Arsenal.

“There are more players who are playing really well but I am happy with Marcus, his performance and his development,” Erik Ten Hag said. “From the start of the season he is growing and keeps doing that. We have to keep his process going and if he is in that mood and spirit, I think he is unstoppable.
“It is up to the team to get him in the right positions. In possession we have a plan, [but it is up to some players like] like Rashy, Bruno [Fernandes] and Christian Eriksen to be creative in the final third and do something no one expects, some crazy stuff.”
After struggling under previous managers, Marcus Rashford has finally started to shine again under Erik Ten Hag. And he has taken charge of the attack almost single-handedly, and is fulfilling the potential that he once showed on a consistent basis.
United are planning to hand him a contract renewal very soon, and on the back of his recent performances, will want to wrap that up as soon as possible.
