Until now in 2023, Marcus Rashford has been a delight to watch—unless you're the opposing defense.
The Manchester United forward has been scoring goals just for fun, bringing his season total to 19 goals.
The 25-year-old scored another game-winning goal over the weekend, giving Manchester United a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace.
There is now no player in greater form than him, making him the envy of clubs all around the world.
Two highly-assembled rival teams are embarrassed by Marcus Rashford's goal total.
Rashford has eight goals so far in 2023. This is equal to the combined total of the four goals scored by each of the Chelsea and Liverpool sides.
Despite their heavy investment, Chelsea and Liverpool are down in ninth and tenth, respectively.
The heat is on Jurgen Klopp's team as Manchester United presently leads by 13 points.
In early March, United will travel to Liverpool, and in mid-April, it will host Chelsea. We can only pray that their terrible run doesn't end.
Rashford can't keep outscoring both of their teams put together, but the fact that it's even possible a month and a week into 2023 is very amazing.
The United forward finished the previous campaign with just five goals. He has recovered in an absolutely amazing manner.
The longer-term problem of Rashford's new contract, which is set to expire in June 2024, must be solved by the team. He appears to be utterly irreplaceable right now.
At the end of the previous month, manager Erik ten Hag downplayed his own role in the player's turnaround and credited the player.
“Every player has to make and get his own confidence. He fought for this, he invested in this," he told the club's media.
"Of course with my coaching staff, we bring in structures, especially in the way of play that give him routines that he needs to get into the right position. But finally, it’s up to him.”
