Man Utd ace Rashford: Wolves win a good three points

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford's winner at Wolves was a landmark career goal.

Rashford's 11th goal of the season for United, across all competitions, ensured the Reds would take all three points from a hard-fought contest in the Midlands.

“It's a nice feeling for a forward to have that happening for them," he told MUTV.

“It's a difficult place for us to come to play our football and to win games, and we didn't necessarily play our best football but we got three points.

“I think for a team that's developing – we've striving to be the best we can be – you have to be able to win games in that fashion. I'm really pleased we managed to do it."

The strike was also Rashford's 100th goal involvement (65 goals, 35 assists) in the Premier League since his debut in the competition back in February 2016.

“The finish is always the best bit, when the ball hits the back of the net, it's a great feeling. I thought the overall build-up to the goal was good.

“They're a difficult team to break down, I think at that moment they were five at the back as well, so there was not much space to play with, but we managed to find the gaps and make it count."
