MARCUS RASHFORD PUT IN SAME BRACKET AS CRISTIANO RONALDO AND LIONEL MESSI AS EX MAN UTD
Solskjaer said: “We only needed another goal. We’d already surprised them by scoring two. I said that if we got to the last 10 minutes needing only a goal, then it was squeaky-bum time for them, they’d wobble. And we did. Marcus was shooting from distance against Gianluigi Buffon. That’s what you want Marcus to do. Give the goalkeeper something to think about.”
Referring to the decisive stoppage time penalty, he added: “Players who can handle that pressure are the best: Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and, after 94 minutes, Marcus with that penalty – a brilliant one, right in front of the away fans, to send us through to the quarter-finals. I ran across the pitch to celebrate with the players and the fans in the rain. Then we went back to the dressing room. It was electric.”
