The hub of the team. 🙌
Here you see from open play a brilliant through ball perfectly weighted which leads to a Marcus rashford goal .
From open play here you see a fantastic run by him he then clinically puts away the finish on a tricky angle
Brilliant awareness here by Bruno , if he took a second longer to play the pass rashford would have been offside , but due to his awareness and quick thinking he plays rashford through first time leading to a second Man Utd goal
A brilliant lobbed through ball over the Newcastle defence once again leading Marcus rashford to a goal
Yet again from open play Bruno fernandes pulls the trigger earlier than expected which surprises Pickford leaving him unprepared to stop a fantastic long shot
