Rashford scored United's second goal in their 3-0 win at Goodison Park from the penalty spot. Captain Bruno Fernandes handed over spot-taking duties and Rashford made no mistake to score just his second goal of the season for the Red Devils. The England international has now dedicated the strike to his late cousin in a post on social media.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">I would like to dedicate the goal yesterday to my cousin who recently passed away.

Marcus is an excellent penalty-taker too."I'm 100 per cent sure that he could score the penalty. It's not about who takes it, it's about scoring the penalty and Marcus did it perfectly. Obviously strikers, wingers, they want to score goals, they need to score goals, that's part of their game and it gives you a boost."After the penalty, Marcus was unstoppable – he could take on everyone. I think sometimes you need this chance, this opportunity to get confidence back. But Marcus has been great for us."Obviously last season he was amazing, so everyone's expectations for this season were higher. It's just about getting his goals back and everyone will stay say that he is world-class again."

WHAT BRUNO FERNANDES SAID

Rashford will have to sit out Manchester United's next game against Galatasaray in the Champions League due to suspension after being sent off last time out against Copenhagen. The forward could therefore return to action on Saturday against Newcsatle in the Premier League.
