In the afternoon, Rashford returned to Carrington to complete his final training session before the game against Watford with his team-mates.

After training and dinner, the team will take the bus to their hotel to prepare for tomorrow's game.

Upon arrival at the hotel and having been allocated a room to be accommodated, Louis van Gaal summoned all the United players and coaches to a meeting at the hotel to show some video highlights of their opponents Watford, and finally, set out the tactics for tomorrow's game.

Because of the very short interval between the last few games, this should have been done a long time ago, but it could only be done until the eve of the game.

Watford are a promoted team, but they have a very good record at the moment. After 27 rounds of games, they scored 29 goals and conceded 28 goals, the offense and defense were relatively balanced, and they won 10 wins, 7 draws and 10 losses, ranking tenth with 37 points, and relegation can already be determined. If you play well, you may be able to challenge for a place in Europe.

Therefore, this opponent is still very difficult to deal with, because they still have pursuits.

Of course, Watford are not easy to play against, but also because of their style of play. It's a team with a fairly tough style, one might even say a bit rough.

Therefore, Van Gaal particularly stressed that the players should pay attention to protecting themselves when playing to avoid injuries due to the rough movements of the opponent.

There's no way, Manchester United really can't afford to be hurt now.

………………

Subsequently, Van Gaal also specifically told Rashford. He believes that through Rashford's impressive performances in the first two games, Watford will definitely strengthen Rashford's defense, which also means that he will face a greater challenge in this game.

Van Gaal hopes that Rashford will not fall into a solo battle on the pitch, but pay attention to the cooperation with his team-mates, football is a sport of 11 men, no one can take on all opponents alone, and the team's victory is the priority.

Van Gaal stressed this because he had been informed of the near-bet contract Rashford had signed with the team, and feared that Rashford would put the team at risk for his own benefit.

Finally, Van Gaal gave his players another boost, saying that he said it was just a reminder to be vigilant during the game. As for the victory, he will not doubt it, because Manchester United's historical record against Watford shows that this is not a difficult opponent at all.

Since 16 September 1986, Watford won 1-0 at home in Old League One and lost 10 games in a row against Manchester United, and their only win at Old Trafford came on 4 October 1978 when United lost 2-1 in the third round of the League Cup.

In other words, the Red Devils have never lost eight league games against Watford at home, and Watford have lost seven of their league top five games this season.

Rashford was somewhat unimpressed by Van Gaal's words. Because the current Manchester United is no longer the Premier League hegemon of the past, whoever comes to Old Trafford will be three points weaker in momentum. Manchester United in the first two years was broken by many teams.

As for Manchester United, it is a record of many shames.

However, there is one thing Rashford believes in, and that is tomorrow's game, and Manchester United are bound to win.

………………

In the end, all the Manchester United players voted for their best player for February.

Although he only played two games, Rashford was elected without any suspense.

Rashford is not surprised. In his previous life, Marcus Rashford had already been voted Manchester United's best team for February after scoring just four goals in two games. Now his performance is even more impressive, and there is no reason why he should not be elected.

To Rashford's surprise, after Van Gaal announced the result in front of all the players, the Football Emperor system even rewarded him with 5 attribute points.

After a little consideration, Rashford still added these five attribute points to speed.

In this way, his stat data becomes:

Overall: 82

Archery: 81/84

Header: 67/68

Passing: 70/72

Dribbling: 78/81

Speed: 85/86

Bounce: 80/80

Standing: 81/85

Stamina: 74/74

Field of view: 55/63

Defence: 31/40

………………

With that done, Van Gaal told his players to go back to their rooms and rest early to recuperate for tomorrow night's game.

However, he himself did not rest early, but went around the hotel with the members of the coaching staff. He knew very well that some of the guys on the team weren't honest, and if he had gone off early, they might have snuck out of the hotel to around.

Sure enough, at about eleven o'clock, he was at the back door of the hotel with Giggs and blocked Depay, who had sneaked downstairs. This annoyed Van Gaal greatly.

Fortunately, Depay's brain is still bright, saying that he is looking for a toilet. Depay is his close confidant and has always been very supportive of his work, and with the fact that Manchester United is indeed understaffed now, Van Gaal has turned a blind eye and told him to hurry up and go to the toilet and then go back to sleep.

………………

While Rashford and his team-mates fell asleep in their hotel rooms, the major media outlets, including the Mirror, were busy compiling and publishing the various news they had interviewed during the day.

Catherine Gloria's exclusive interview undoubtedly made the front page headlines of the Mirror again. In this report, Rashford's contract with Manchester United is published in almost detail.

The staff of the "Mirror" were a little staggered, secretly saying that Manchester United are really rich and pay such a high salary to a newcomer who has only played two games.

Marcus Rashford has now scored eight goals, which all but means he can get at least a £25,000 after-tax salary from Manchester United. If you convert it to an adult salary, it is a whopping £1.3 million. That's a 17-fold increase relative to his previous salary! It's really a ball of fame, with an annual salary of one million!

Add in all sorts of bonuses and appearance fees, and Rashford could even get more than £2 million a year from Manchester United.

They believe that when this news is reported, it will definitely cause an uproar.

Perhaps the other Premier League sides will be a little disappointed by the news as it means they are not likely to get Marcus Rashford.

However, with the news in the news, all kinds of big-name brokers and powerful brokerage companies will definitely get moving, like sharks smelling blood, vying for this future star.

In fact, the Mirror's top brass was shocked that Catherine Gloria was able to get such detailed information. They even wonder if Catherine Gloria has some shady secret with the wonder boy.
