Manchester United blitzed a 5-0 trail straight through RB Leipzig on Wednesday night, 28 October, with a goal hat-trick from Marcus Rashford.

Man U set their home ground of Old Trafford in Manchester, England, ablaze within the first half after forward Mason Greenwood found the back of the net in the 21st minute.

However, the star of the night was 22-year-old Rashford, who was brought on as a substitute in the second half.

He heaped on three goals, the first in the 74th minute, followed by a second just four minutes later, and then a third goal two minutes into extra time.

The Red Devils’ Anthony Martial also contributed another nail in the German team’s coffin with a strike of his own in the 87th minute.

Man U boss, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, rested several players ahead of the match as he wanted “more quality and spirit”, a decision that paid off in the end.

In a press meeting after the match, Solskjaer said: “Marcus Rashford came on and did well, but the groundwork was there from the team, that’s what you want from the subs.”
