(Reuters) - While most players ease their way back into their club side after a gruelling World Cup, Manchester United's Marcus Rashford has not wasted any time, scoring in every match since his return to take his season's tally to 15 goals.
The 25-year-old has scored seven times in six games in three different competitions to lead United back to the top four in the Premier League, the fourth round of the FA Cup and the semi-finals of the League Cup.
"If he keeps the focus and keeps putting the effort in, he will keep on scoring," coach Erik ten Hag said. But even as Ronaldo added to his burgeoning goals tally with 24 strikes, the rest of the team suffered as United struggled to their worst-ever Premier League points total last season. Disciplinary issues marked the end for Ronaldo, who left games early after being upset at being benched, but Rashford has graciously accepted punishment and come out the better for it.
