In the 62nd minute, Marcus Rashford scored in front of goal to extend United's lead to five goals. It was also Rashford's 29th goal in the Premier League!

"In! Entered! It's in again! Marcus Rashford scored a hat-trick as Manchester United took a 5-0 lead at home to Crystal Palace! ”

'Wow, Marcus Rashford has scored again! He scored a hat-trick again, what a fantastic lad! ”

'It was Rashford's 29th league goal and he continues to lead the Premier League scorers' charts! Even if you look at the top five leagues, Rashford's goals are only less than Cristiano Ronaldo's and the Portuguese Super League's 31 goals and Serie A Higuain's 30 goals! ”

"It's such a fantastic player, if you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't believe there is such a player in this world!"

……

On the pitch, Manchester United players chased Marcus Rashford and ran towards the corner flag area.

In the stands, the Theatre of Dreams has become a sea of joy as Red Devils fans sing our Marcus Rashford songs to show their affection for their young goalscorer.

On the bench, Louis van Gaal was high-five with Ryan Giggs and Hojk as they returned to second place in the table, eight points behind leaders Leicester City after 34 games in the same game.

With only four rounds left, it seems difficult to recover the gap of eight points. But as long as they can keep their current position, it will be a huge win for Manchester United this season.

You know, two months ago, Manchester United was struggling outside the Champions League zone, but after a wave of eight consecutive league wins, Manchester United has basically secured second place in the league, four points ahead of Manchester City, who are fifth in the league.

As long as nothing else, Manchester United can already secure a Champions League place.

At this time, Van Gaal was already preparing for Manchester United to win a title. He asked Hoyck to call Depay for the preparations.

………………

As the United players finished their celebrations and returned to the centre circle to kick off, the fourth official made a substitution sign, with the United number 39 down and number 7 up.

In the 64th minute, Louis van Gaal brought on Depay for a hat-trick of Marcus Rashford in preparation for the FA Cup semi-final at the weekend.

Van Gaal's actions show how much he values Rashford. Now that United have sealed the win early, it can be said that the next half hour or so will be garbage time.

In such a situation, replacing Rashford early is to avoid Rashford's accidental injury, and secondly, to allow him to rest as much as possible.

In today's circumstances, it is highly unlikely that Manchester United will be in contention for the league title, after all, Leicester City have been so consistent this season that Manchester United will be tantamount to dreaming of eight points in four games. Therefore, the FA Cup and Europa League winners are undoubtedly more real.

Compared to the Europa League, which still needs three games, or even three wins, to win the Europa League, the FA Cup, which now only needs two wins to win the title, is undoubtedly more in line with Van Gaal's expectations.

Of course, having Depay come on in place of Marcus Rashford with almost half an hour left before the end of the game would also be a consolation for his own descendants.

Despite Depay's own lack of compromise, Van Gaal is very tolerant of him and always gives him as many opportunities as possible to express himself.

………………

Away from 5 goals behind, Crystal Palace has no hope of changing the situation on the field, and it is inevitable that the defeat will continue to be more ugly, and the Crystal Palace team intends to retract the defense, so the game scene is not very good, and the two teams also seized the opportunity to make personnel adjustments.

Two minutes after Marcus Rashford was substituted, Palace made a change, with the injured Macarthur bringing on Cabaye.

However, Manchester United still dominated the field and threatened on a number of occasions when playing at home.

In the 71st minute, Rooney passed the ball on the right side, and Kelly's header cleared and almost owned. Immediately, Smalling received a pass from the right and headed the ball off the line.

In the 72nd minute, Herrera replaced Jesse Lingard, who had a mediocre performance.

In the 80th minute, Depay received a pass from Anthony Martial and curled a right-footed shot from the edge of the penalty area, and the ball touched Mariapa and went slightly wide of the right post.

In the 86th minute, Darmian tried a right-footed shot but did not threaten.

In the end, Manchester United beat Crystal Palace 5-0 at home to take all three points as they wished, and re-overpower Tottenham, who won on Monday, to return to second place in the table.

………………

Marcus Rashford scored another hat-trick and struck the face of those who said Rashford should not have been named in the PFA Player of the Year, PFA Young Player of the Year and PFA Team of the Year.

In particular, it has been noted that Marcus Rashford's 29 league goals have made him the fourth top scorer in Europe's Golden Boot list, and the argument that he should not be shortlisted for the three PFA best of the year is even more untenable.

The UEFA Golden Boot is open to all UEFA member states, but only club players from each country's top league are eligible to participate, and only league goals are counted, with one point for each goal scored, and the score is multiplied by the football coefficient of the country where the scorer is located to obtain a ranking score.

According to UEFA regulations, the points coefficient for the five major leagues is 2, the points coefficient for the two Champions League places is 1.5, and the points coefficient for the league with one Champions League place is 1.

In addition, points can be accumulated before and after a player's transfer, but points cannot be accumulated when transferring from a single-year league to a cross-year league.

The top five leagues this season are La Liga, the Premier League, the Bundesliga, Serie A and the Portuguese Super League, and Ligue 1, one of the five major leagues in people's mouths, is only in sixth place for the time being, not among the top five leagues.

The competition for the European Golden Boot this season is unprecedented, and the award is no longer a duo of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, but a race of champions.

In addition to the decline in the performance of Ronaldo and Messi, the strong outbreak of scorers in other leagues is also a reason that cannot be ignored.

At present, Ronaldo is in first place with 31 goals and 62 points, but the biggest opponent preventing Ronaldo from defending his title is not Messi, Suarez and others, but Jonas from Benfica in the Portuguese Super League.

Jonas is currently the same number of goals as Cristiano Ronaldo, also with 31. The Portuguese Super League's goal coefficient is also 2, with Jonas and Ronaldo both accumulating 62 points and tied for the first place.

In third place is Higuain, who scored 30 goals in Napoli, and the small smoking gun has 60 points in the European Golden Boot, but Higuain has been banned for three games, so the possibility of reversing Ronaldo is much smaller.

In fourth place is Marcus Rashford, who has scored 29 goals in the Premier League, and his 58 points are the highest among any Premier League goalscorer.

If none of such a player can be shortlisted for the three PFA Awards, how can you embarrass the other players? I want to talk about "The British Emperor" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
