Markus Rashford has scored four Champions League goals this season.
Markus Rashford came off the bench to score a clinical hat-trick as Manchester United put their recent run of form by dismantling RB Leipzig in the Champions League.
The English international Rashford came out just after the hour mark and scored three goals in 18 minutes, first to calm down and then to make a breathtaking second goal before scoring a third in the save.
The young striker Mason Greenwood scored his first goal of the game by intercepting Paul Pogba’s defensive pass before forcing a precise and deep pass in the opposite corner.
Greenwood again shot directly at Peter Goulashi, while the visiting goalkeeper also prevented Anthony Martial from being pierced.
But when Martial entered the penalty area with three minutes to go, he used a penalty kick to score his first goal of the season.
Ole Gunnar Solskier’s team confirmed their brilliant victory in their first match in Paris Saint-Germain and scored three more impressive points to extend their unbeaten run to four games.
United had a pleasant night, David de Gaye stayed away from Christopher Nkunku and Ibrahima Konate.
In another Group H race, last year’s runners-up, Paris St. Germain, was the only team to win a race in the finals. St. Germain, scored the first runs with a 2-0 victory over Istanbul Basaksehir.
Rashford must not be mistaken
Before the match, United said they were confused about the government’s decision not to admit fans to Old Trafford, despite the fact that the stadium has become a public place for 23,500 fans.
And since United played their first Champions League home game after losing Barcelona in the quarterfinals in April 2019, it’s a shame that the fans missed the best performance of their team.
Solskjaer faced the current leaders of the Bundesliga and the team that reached the semifinals last semester, but he gave the German team a respectable appearance with an excellent and extensive performance.
The man of the hour Rashford struck again, a grid with all three shots to the target.
Rashford, who received his licence from the British Empire earlier this month and continued his fight against the government for free meals for schoolchildren off the field, demonstrated his skills there by winning the first triple prize in an elite club competition in Europe.
In the beginning the assistant referee excluded him, but practice showed that he had timed his run perfectly because of the hemisphere, piercing Bruno Fernandas’ rake and opening his body before returning to the field.
The second came in with a run to the edge of the penalty area before bringing his goal back into the corner as he made his hat-trick from close range.
Combined in the race
After a 6-1 humiliation by Tottenham, United had three victories and a draw, including blank sheets in a row.
A balanced defence by Harry Maguire and Victor Lindeloff silenced the striker in Leipzig on the front line and provided another welcome entry to the field.
In front of them the Dutch international Donnie van de Beek was third in the Karabakho Cup after two years and the midfielder was consistent and precise. In 67 minutes on the field he made 89% of the 28 passes and played the ball again six times.
It’s United’s depth, star Bruno Fernandez just sat on the couch, but broke off to get more help.
Few would expect the Premier League team to score six out of six against the two toughest opponents in the group.
But they were perfectly matched to reach the Tour of 16, from start to finish against the insignificant Istanbul Basaksehir.
What happens then?
On Sunday United Arsenal meets again in Old Trafford in the Premier League (from 16.30 GMT).
