Patrice Evra gives Marcus Rashford new nickname after Man Utd beat Leicester

Former Manchester United captain Patrice Evra gave Marcus Rashford a new nickname following his latest goalscoring contributions on Sunday.

Rashford scored twice at Old Trafford, in either half, as the Reds ran out 3-0 winners against Leicester City. The Foxes started the first half well and could have been in front if not for the efforts of David de Gea in goal.

United would make the visitors pay for their missed chances in the 25th minute as a loose ball from Wout Faes was jumped on by Bruno Fernandes who threaded a ball to Rashford for the opener. The Reds came out like a different team in the second 45 and turned the screw just over 10 minutes after the interval.

Another through ball, this time by Fred, found Rashford who slotted underneath Danny Ward for 2-0, despite a VAR check. The match was over as a contest just after the hour mark when Jadon Sancho capped off a good team goal to round off an impressive afternoon for United.

Taking to Instagram after the game, Rashford celebrated the result with a picture of himself, Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelof which had the caption: "+3 points." In the replies to his post, Evra responded with a new nickname for the Reds' in-form star.

"The Punisher," Evra posted alongside three flame emojis. Rashford has scored 24 goals so far this campaign and has got on the scoresheet in each of his last five Premier League outings.
