Is Rashford the most in form player in Europe right now?

Rashford has now scored 26 goals this season, the same amount as he scored in his previous two seasons combined.

After some difficult past 12 months under both Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick, Rashford has risen from the ashes and become one of the best players in Europe. With goals every week in both Premier League and Europa League he is maybe the most in form player in Europe in 2023.

Rashford is the third highest scoring player in Europe right now in all competitions with 26 goals, only surpassed by Erling Haaland (33) and Kylian Mbappe (30). His goal against Real Betis also made him level with the legend Cristiano Ronaldo with goals in Europe for Manchester United (24).

With several games left in the Premier League season, Rashford's personal goal must be to reach 20 goals in the league. If he can stay injury free, as he has for most of the season, it should be a realistic goal and a great achievement for Rashford. 19/20 is the season in which he has scored the most goals in the Premier League, here he scored 17 goals.
