Despite it being a successful night all around for United, Rashford was unlucky not to score a goal or two, with Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris in inspired form.

The Red Devils won the game 2-0 but could have easily have scored more were it not for Lloris. The Spurs skipper was able to keep the scoreline respectable.

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand tweeted that Lloris had some sort of agenda against Rashford.

Rashford replied to Ferdinand's tweet and appeared to agree with the legendary defender. The 24-year-old has five goals in all competitions this season.

Rashford's finishing criticised by fans

Sports Brief had earlier reported that Manchester United fans all made the same assessment of Marcus Rashford, during the 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday, October 19.

The 24-year-old was brought into the Manchester United starting XI to face Spurs at the expense of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Rashford exhibited some sharpness with his movement but was guilty of fairly tame finishing, as his 21st-minute shot was too close to Hugo Lloris when he was played through by Fred.

Casemiro's wholesome reaction to Bruno Fernandes' goal spotted

Sports Brief has also reported that Rashford's teammate Casemiro has seemingly fallen in love with Manchester United already, months after joining them from Real Madrid.

Despite being a proven winner with an impressive CV, he struggled to break through into Erik ten Hag's starting eleven. He was forced to contend with limited appearances off the bench.

As they say however, class is permanent. Bit by bit, the Brazilian started picking up the pieces and showed why the five Champions League titles on his resume were no fluke.
