Marcus Rashford scored a penalty early in the first half against Leicester City which turned out to be the winner as Manchester United beat Leicester 1-0 at Old Trafford on Saturday.
Penalties have been a subject of debate for United this season which started when Pogba missed a penalty against Wolves despite not being the first choice penalty taker, then Rashford missed a penalty in Manchester United’s home defeat against Crystal Palace.
Now Rashford has opened about the subject of much debate,
“There has been a lot of talks [about penalties] but it is all about clearing that out of your head and just getting back down to basics,” Marcus told MUTV.
“When it comes down to it, that is all you know, to get to the first team, it is by doing the basics and working hard.
“I just try to look at the keeper, especially a keeper like him because he has a good jump and likes to go early. If it is not hard and in the corner, then he has a chance of saving it. But it was a nice feeling to score.”
Rashford also spoke about how International breaks can be seen as a plus rather than a negative how it is always seen.
“The preparations are a lot more difficult for the manager and staff to get the work in,” he added.
“But we have used it as a positive, following the last game at Southampton. We felt we should have won that game so the break worked in our favor because we got to go away and clear our heads, focused on the games with the national teams and then came back with fresh minds.
“As a result, I think it was a bit calmer today. It felt like, on the pitch, we knew we were going to win.
Rashford’s position has also been a subject of debate with most pundits believing that Rashford’s best position is on the wing rather than through the middle.
