Marcus Rashford reacts to Manchester United’s tactical change involving Anthony Martial vs Liverpool

Goalscorer Marcus Rashford praised Manchester United’s ability to be versatile following Anthony Martial’s introduction during Monday’s terrific 2-1 win over Liverpool.

Rashford started the game as the lead forward before being moved onto the left-hand side when the Frenchman - who was making his first appearance of the season following injury - came on at half-time, with Cristiano Ronaldo only brought on four minutes from the end.
