Marcus Rashford and Facundo Pellistri flooded praise from netizens after Manchester United beat Charlton Athletic 3-0 in the Carabao Cup. Meanwhile, Anthony Eaglea was even insulted.
The reason is that this Swedish player had little impact throughout the match which took place at Old Trafford, Wednesday (11/1/2023) early morning WIB. In fact, Pellistri, who replaced Elanga in the 85th minute, made an immediate impact.
Meanwhile, the two goals scored by Rashford made him a special record. He became the first United player to score in eight consecutive games at Old Trafford in the last 13 years.
This equaled Wayne Rooney's record in 2010. He managed to score goals in eight consecutive home games for MU. The following is a summary of the reactions of netizens:
"Pellistri, if you are given the opportunity for 10-15 minutes, it will be better than Elanga," said @aduyeuh
"A few minutes after Pellistri entered, it immediately made an impact, it deserves flying hours," said @meliaCf.
"From the way he controls the ball, dribilling, to giving bait, I still choose Pellistri over Elanga and even Garnacho. Garnacho did win the sprint, but this boy I see is special," wrote @ComebackUnited_.
"Elanga has a lot of confusion with the ball," said the account @Ihamdas.
"Elanga really didn't do anything in the first half. More touch mainl I think," wrote @ivanwbsn.
"Rashford is on fire and can't be stopped anymore. Crazy!," @dwigatot_.
"Marcus Rashford has made many changes. Both for Manchester United and for himself. If he's not careful, he might come closer to the Santiago Bernabeu next season," said @bolboleleven.
"Rashford once handled the ball so it's also a scary goal this season," said @Ihamdas.
"You see, Emyu has won 8 times in a row. I'm tired of watching Rashford keep on goaling every week," said @miftahudagb.
