It was the first time Rashford had scored in five consecutive games for United after finding the net in each game since his restart after the World Cup.

“Marcus showed confidence and belief going forward and good movement at the back, pushing the players forward,” United coach Ten Haag said.

“I think he was a threat to Everton’s defending for 90 minutes.

“It’s about getting him in the right position so Marcus is doing very well but also the team so he can bring his balls in and be unstoppable with his speed and his dribble.”

Everton manager Frank Lampard was also full of praise for Rashford, saying “no one can stop” the 25-year-old when he is in the kind of form he has shown since the World Cup.

He has 13 goals for the season, eight more than he managed in the 2021-22 campaign.

“As a striker, you measure goals and assists and certainly today he had two assists and a goal,” Ten Haag added.

“He has great skills and when he has that mental stability he can continue, but it demands a lot from him and from us, but when he has that focus I’m sure he can continue this process.”
