Peter Schmeichel praises Marcus Rashford after Manchester United draw with Everton

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. Michael Carrick substituted the forward late in the game after Rashford reported discomfort. The performance drew positive feedback from Schmeichel, who likened the 28-year-old’s current form to his high-scoring period four years ago. The club is currently monitoring Rashford's physical condition ahead of Thursday’s Champions League opener against Sabah. Manchester United surrendered their lead in stoppage time when Ainsley Maitland-Niles scored the equalizer for Everton to finalize the draw.
