Peter Schmeichel praises Marcus Rashford after Manchester United draw with Everton
Summary

Peter Schmeichel praised Marcus Rashford for his performance in Manchester United’s 2-2 draw with Everton on Sunday. Although Rashford did not record a goal or an assist during the match, he was noted for his aggressive play and attacking movement against the Everton defense.
