Coach Erik ten Hag has worked wonders in his first season at MU, and the best partnership on the pitch has also been found by him.
In addition to the great chemistry in the central position from the duo Lisandro Martinez – Raphael Varane, coach Erik ten Hag has been praised many times for finding a pair of powerful cards on the attack front Bruno Fernandes – Marcus Rashford.
Statistics from Sky Sports show that Fernandes and Rashford are the best duo in the Premier League with a total of 36 opportunities for each other, surpassing both Harry Kane – Son Heung-min (35) or De Bruyne – Haaland (32). In particular, the Portuguese midfielder overwhelmed when there were 33 times “cleaning up” for the junior. However, Rashford only successfully capitalized 16 times. However, this is still a season that has witnessed an impressive scoring performance of the English striker.
Rashford has scored 29 goals in all competitions since the start of the season, nearly six times his own record last season. The star born in 1997 from being unappreciated and considering leaving last summer has now revived strongly at the hands of Erik ten Hag.
People constantly give Rashford compliments about his finishing ability, however, many fans have to admit that Fernandes’ tactical vision and passing ability are too good. Behind a good striker there is always a quality ball provider. Currently, Rashford and Fernandes are becoming a formidable partner under Ten Hag. If at Man City, the saying: “Kevin De Bruyne has the ball and Erling Haaland moves” has become the template for every match, at MU, the same is happening with Rashford and Fernandes.
The intelligence, sharp judgment of Fernandes is a scary weapon of MU when performing attacking situations. The steps that follow the rhythm of this “golden couple” have become a horror for many defenders to face. Bruno – Rashford is becoming the number 1 hope for the Red Devils’ top 4 goal. And regardless of whether this pair breaks the record for the number of chances created (40) or not, this is still considered a very valuable discovery by coach Erik ten Hag.
