After 189 days, Rashford breaks the Premier League jinx

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has ended his goal drought for several months with his team in the English Premier League, after scoring a goal in the 3-0 victory over Southampton, in the opening round of the fourth round of the current 2024-2025 season. This goal is the first scored by Rashford in the Premier League in 189 days, as his last goal in the tournament dates back to March 9, when he scored a penalty kick against Everton. Statistics reveal that the Manchester United striker has succeeded in ending a negative streak of 12 consecutive matches with the "Red Devils" in all competitions without scoring any goals. It is noteworthy that the 26-year-old English striker has been subjected to severe criticism recently due to his noticeable decline in level since last season, and he was close to leaving Manchester United in the last summer transfer market.
