Peter Schmeichel praises Marcus Rashford after Everton match

Peter Schmeichel lauded Marcus Rashford for his performance during Manchester United’s draw against Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. Although Rashford did not score, Schmeichel described the forward as one of the top players in the world following his 70 minutes on the pitch. Michael Carrick substituted the player after he reported an injury problem during the match. Manchester United faces a busy schedule in the next fortnight, with upcoming Champions League and Carabao Cup fixtures as well as a match against Manchester City at Old Trafford. The manager is considering rotation, as Joshua Zirkzee awaits his first minutes of the season, Benjamin Sesko is pushing for a start after scoring, and Mason Mount has returned to the matchday squad.
