Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright has been extremely impressed by Marcus Rashford’s start to the new season at Man Utd.
The Red Devils beat the Gunners 3-1 over the weekend to inflict a first defeat of the season on Mikel Arteta’s men, who were probably the better side for large spells.
Once Bukayo Saka had cancelled out Antony’s opener, Man Utd showed their clinical edge with Rashford finishing off two counter-attacking moves to give Erik ten Hag’s outfit all three points.
One per club: Premier League players stuck after missing out on a move
The England international struggled last season with the forward only contributing four goals and two assists in 25 Premier League matches.

Wright hasn’t been the only pundit to be impressed by what he’s seen from Rashford in recent weeks with Rio Ferdinand also effusive in his praise for the 24-year-old.
