By scoring in this home match, the 25-year-old striker extended his consecutive goal-scoring record at Old Trafford to 9 games. This is a record that Dennis Viollet set in the "Red Devils" jersey more than 63 years ago.
Furthermore, the English player also reached 7 consecutive games scoring in all competitions, becoming the first player to do so after Cristiano Ronaldo in April 2008.
Statistics show that 27 out of the 67 goals Rashford has scored in the English Premier League have brought victories for the home team at Old Trafford, achieving a rate of 40.3% - higher than any other player with 50 or more goals in the league.
Rashford is improving. He has scored 16 goals and contributed 6 assists in 25 games across all competitions so far this season. This striker also leads the goal-scoring list for Manchester United at Old Trafford. Antony and Anthony Martial are next with 5 goals each.
What Rashford is showing strengthens Manchester United's plans to extend his contract. "Rashford will soon have to make a decision. We can only show him that Manchester United is the best team for him to play for," Head Coach Erik ten Hag stated in December.
Manchester United previously activated the option to extend Rashford's contract by an additional year, he was born in 1997. However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that the 20-time English champions are now in negotiations to give him a long-term contract.
Rashford is currently on a hot scoring streak, having scored in 15 consecutive matches in the 2021/22 season. The Dutch manager has helped the 25-year-old regain his good form this season.
