Marcus Rashford appears to have changed tune on his favourite goal for Manchester United over the years.
Since breaking into the first team under Louis Van Gaal, Rashford has emerged as a prized asset at Old Trafford, and is now a crucial player for current boss Erik Ten Hag.
This season, he has been in sensational form, bagging a total of 29 goals across all competitions.
Notably, 10 of those strikes have been winning goals in the Premier League, according to Opta, the first time a United player has achieved this feat since Wayne Rooney in the 2009/10 season.

FootballThere is no question that Rashford has scored some superb goals for United in his fairly young career, but which one is his favourite?
In the past, Rashford openly expressed how special his goal against Manchester City in his first-ever derby was.
But in terms of his favourite strike, Rashford has reserved that slot for his stunning free kick against Chelsea back in 2019.
It was in the Carabao Cup round of 16, and United came up against the Blues, who were managed by Frank Lampard then.
Rashford got his side’s opener from the penalty spot in the first half, but Chelsea drew level thanks to Michy Batshuayi’s solo effort after some sloppy defending from Harry Maguire, as reported on Sky Sports.
With the game finely poised, Rashford came up with a stunning winner from a free kick late on.
Despite being 30 yards from goal, Rashford decided to make an audacious attempt from the dead ball, and his curling, swerving and dipping effort gave goalie Willy Caballero no chance.

Recently, Sports Brief reported on Usain Bolt’s interesting confession about Marcus Rashford.
Bolt, who retired in 2017 after dominating sprint races, is a staunch Manchester United fan and recently attended their FA Cup game against Fulham at Old Trafford.
Speaking to the United website, Bolt was asked who would win in a short dash between him and Rashford. The Jamaican admitted Rashford would beat him in the first 30 or 30 metres but he would eventually trounce him.
