Man Utd striker Marcus Rashford happy with penalty success

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford was happy to prove the matchwinner against Leicester City.

Rashford has revealed what was going through his mind ahead of his first-half penalty yesterday.

“There has been a lot of talk [about penalties] but it is all about clearing that out of your head and just getting back down to basics," Rashford 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."
