M. Rashordas: We Hoped to Reach the Semifinals Easier

The young star of "Manchester United" club Marcus Rashford admits that it was not easy to reach the UEFA Europa League semi-finals, but the "Red Devils" created opportunities and rightfully advanced. In yesterday's second leg of the Europa League quarterfinal match, "Man Utd" defeated Brussels' "Anderlecht" 2-1 after extra time. The winning goal in extra time was scored by M. Rashford, who shone throughout the match. "Everything you can do in a match is to keep creating opportunities. We did that," - said the 19-year-old striker. "In the second half, we didn't give them any chances. We pressed them in their half, which is necessary at this stage of the match." "We created a lot of chances and had opportunities to score more than one or two goals. But sometimes that's how matches go. Now the most important thing is that we are in the next stage and continue the fight for the title. In such matches, the most important thing is not to stop and hope for a second chance to score. We reached the semi-finals the hard way, but now no one cares," - added M. Rashford. M. Rashford scored 10 goals and provided five assists in 44 appearances this season.
