Man Utd: Why practice could make perfect for Marcus Rashford - Pat Nevin

Rashford's goal against Celta Vigo was his 11th of the season in all competitions

Marcus Rashford's stunning free-kick means Manchester United have the advantage after the first leg of their Europa League semi-final against Celta Vigo.

United's 1-0 victory in Spain means they are heavy favourites to clinch a place in the final in next week's return at Old Trafford.
We already knew he was a pacey and skilful striker but Rashford's winner took many people by surprise, including Celta Vigo goalkeeper Sergio Alvarez.
Could the 19-year-old add even more facets to his game to fulfil his full potential, and how will he do it?
Pat Nevin, who was co-commentating on the game for BBC Radio 5 live, explains why Rashford should look to Thierry Henry and Cristiano Ronaldo for inspiration to improve, and how his set-piece ability is already reminiscent of another Old Trafford legend.

Rashford stepped up to curl the ball home after Daley Blind's decoy run

Nevin: "If I may steal a line off 5 live commentator John Murray, who I was working with on Thursday night, when we watched Rashford's free-kick again off-air he said it was like one of David Beckham's.
"He was right. Rashford's body shape and even the position of his foot when the ball left his boot was exactly like Beckham's.
"That was really surprising because very few people hit a ball the way Beckham does - he has a very unique technique.
"When he was asked about what his secret with free-kicks was, Beckham always said it was just down to practise, and the time he spent to get every part of executing them exactly right.

The many colours of success

Many Colours of Success We live in a world where money literally means success, where assumptions overrule certainties and stereotyped beliefs instill fears in people. It's a great thing to dream, hope and fantasize, but to what end? Dreams, especially for the undisciplined is a waste of time because it will shift with circumstances and will most likely remain a dream till such person dies, which makes the mortuary the wealthiest abode in human existence. Hope on the other hand is futile without realistic hard work, can be narrowed depending on the size of the expectations but with a recent cliché that most people have adopted which says "expectations bring disappointment"... I wonder what this means. What is success? Outstanding performance at an examination? Marriage at the end of a long courtship? Pregnancy after a long wait? Victory at a highly competitive pitch?
