Marcus Rashford (born 31 October 1997) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for Premier League club Manchester United and the England national team.
A Manchester United player from the age of seven, he scored two goals on both his first-team debut against Midtjylland in the UEFA Europa League in February 2016 and his Premier League debut against Arsenal three days later.
He also scored in his first Manchester derby match, his first EFL Cup match and his first UEFA Champions League match. With United, Rashford has so far won the FA Cup, EFL Cup, FA Community Shield and UEFA Europa League.
Bruno Miguel Borges Fernandes (born 8 September 1994) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Primeira Liga club Sporting CP and the Portugal national team as a midfielder. Fernandes started his career at Serie B side Novara Calcio and soon featured for Udinese and Sampdoria in Serie A.
In 2017, he signed with Sporting CP where he established himself as one of the best players in the Primeira Liga. He was named the LPFP Primeira Liga Player of the Year in both 2017–18 and 2018–19. In the latter season, he also helped Sporting win the Taça de Portugal. A senior international since 2017, Fernandes represented Portugal at the 2016 Summer Olympics and 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Rio Ferdinand blasted Ralf Rangnick’s decision not to start Marcus Rashford against Leicester, and feels the Manchester United forward will be seriously questioning his future at the club.
Despite both Cristiano Ronaldo and Edinson Cavani being out injured, Rangnick elected to name Rashford on the bench rather than hand him a start up front.
Instead, the interim manager went with a similar system to the one he deployed against Manchester City, with Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba playing as his front two.
The ploy failed to bring about any results though as the Reds produced a dismal first-half performance, with Rashford eventually making his way from the bench 10 minutes into the second half.
