MANCHESTER UNITED fans are convinced they’re pinpointed the reason behind Marcus Rashford ending his barren run in front of goal.
The England star, 26, had hit the target just once for United this season before yesterday’s 3-0 win at Everton, when he netted against Arsenal way back at the start of September.
Rashford doubled his tally for the term with a clinical penalty.
And his generally impressive gameplay on the right wing was key in helping United rack up another victory.
Rashford will now be hoping he can kick on after netting 30 goals in all competitions last season.
But fans reckon they know why he bounced back against Everton with aplomb.
