Rashford praised the performance of the final’s first goalscorer, Casemiro. The former Real Madrid enforcer joined the Reds in the summer of 2022 and has been one of the standout performers for United this season. He grabbed the opener against Newcastle when he leaped to head the ball past Loris Karius from a Luke Shaw free-kick.
When asked what kind of impact Casemiro has brought to the squad since joining, Rashford stated that the midfielder has brought a “security” to the side.
“He makes a huge difference, his leadership and experience in games is huge,” said Marcus.
“I’ve spoken to some of the other forwards and on the pitch they feel that sense of security behind them. It’s massive for us and I’m buzzing for him today, his first trophy for the club and hopefully he can push us now to get even more.”
