Owen Hargreaves has pinpointed the moment in Manchester United’s drubbing of RB Leipzig that showed why Marcus Rashford will captain United in the future. Rashford came off the bench to inspire Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side to a comfortable victory, as they hit five past the Bundesliga leaders at Old Trafford. While Rashford was deadly in front of goal, putting the German side to the sword with a clinical hat-trick, though he showed another side to his game as well. United were awarded a penalty when the England international had two goals to his name but, rather than take the spot-kick himself, he handed the opportunity to Anthony Martial.
Owen Hargreaves said “I love that he’s looking out for his team-mates. Martial, that’s great for him. Marcus knows he’s gonna get his numbers, I love that – that’s being a great team-mate. That’s why he’s gonna be the captain because he thinks of everyone else, not just himself. I like that, because this generation aren’t as individualistic.”
