..….Rashford has, however 31 goalsfor United last season, and three of the last seasons above 20 goals total. That is a lot more than respectable for a wide forward, be honest……
Which is a fantastic contribution, but in the context of individual competitions, it serves no purpose to conflate all the goals scored in those in other competitions.
For example, with specific regard to the Premier league, it doesn’t matter how many goals anyone scored in the Europa league or the Rumbelows/ Milk cup (or whatever it’s called this week). None of those goals count in the league. Stating the bleedin’ obvious really.
I think he’s capable of breaking the 20 league goals mark, but he’d have to go on an extended run of being on fire, like post World Cup last season, but Marcus has never had season long, consistent scoring in the PL.
It’s always come in bursts of a couple of months, with the odd extra goals scattered throughout the rest of the season.
So it would be exceptional for him to break that 20 league goal mark.
Remember his career PL average is 9.5 goals.
If you just take the last 4 seasons, that goes up to 12.25 goals
In that context, 17 goals was very good.…
