Manchester United's Marcus Rashford has admitted he has missed the feeling of scoring goals. Rashford underperformed last season and he eventually lost his starting place under Ralf Rangnick - he scored just five goals across all competitions last term, but he's already got three in the Premier League this time around.
Erik ten Hag has played Rashford through the middle in recent weeks and he scored twice against Arsenal on Sunday afternoon. Antony opened the scoring for United but it was Rashford's goals that ensured the Reds won the three points.
Rashford was asked about scoring after full-time and he admitted that he has missed the feeling of finding the back of the net.

"It’s been a long time not scoring against Arsenal," Rashford told Sky Sports. "I didn’t realise it had been that long [six years] until before the game so yeah it was something I was looking to do. I’m happy to get the goals.
"Togetherness for me, you only win these types of games when you’re in a team and we showed in the last few games, being 1-0 up that we can see a game out but we had to be ruthless to get more goals.
"We got two more goals in the second half when we could’ve had more so definitely something to work on, build on and take it into the next game. It’s a great feeling, you do miss it as a player. Hopefully I can stay fit, stay healthy and keep performing like that"
