Marcus Rashford has reflected on last week’s clash with Chelsea, which resulted in a 1-1 draw.
Manchester United heavily dominated the first half but were unable to find the end product despite having several shots on target.
The match became more tightly contested in the second half once United lost centre-back Raphael Varane through injury. Substitute Scott McTominay’s foul led to a Chelsea penalty, which was converted by Jorginho in the 87th minute.
A first United goal from Casemiro in the 94th minute of injury time secured a point for both sides at Stamford Bridge. The Red Devils remain one place behind Graham Potter’s side in the league table.
Rashford proud of squad’s character and determination
However, Rashford remains optimistic about his side’s future this season and has lauded the squad’s spirit to steal a point from the match.
In an interview with PA Media he reflected on the match, saying: “Everyone’s up for it, everyone’s up for the challenge, up for the fight. For me, the epitome of that was the Chelsea game.
“We conceded late on and we still had courage and determination to score again late on. We were disappointed with the draw, but when you look at the wider scheme of things it’s great character. We know that we’ve got it but to show it is another thing.”
