Rashford scored to help Aston Villa win easily at Preston North End to reach the FA Cup semi-finals. If you think Preston are just a weak opponent, then here is Rashford's answer: he scored an important goal to open a 3-0 victory at Brighton, helping Villa regain hope of climbing into the group of teams with tickets to the Champions League next season. On the one hand, Villa beat their direct competitors and jumped over them in the rankings. On the other hand, Rashford's form at this time also helps Villa hope to make a difference in the midweek Champions League matches next week. Coach Unai Emery is even considering whether he should change tactics, so that Villa can make better use of Rashford's ability from now until the end of the season.
Rashford is not the only case of showing excellence after leaving MU. Not long ago, Antony was famous in the Real Betis shirt, playing excellently in both La Liga and European football. Both Rashford and Antony were released by MU in the mid-season transfer, on loan.
Scott McTominay left MU a little earlier. He transferred to Napoli at the beginning of the season, and is now one of the pillars, playing very successfully for this team. Anthony Elanga is even more remarkable. He transferred to Nottingham Forest, and this is the most successful team in the Premier League this season. According to Opta's calculations, after the two teams that have secured a place in the Champions League, Liverpool and Arsenal, Forest is the team with the highest hope in the race for a place in the Champions League in the Premier League at the moment. In this midweek match, Elanga scored against his old team, helping Forest beat MU 1-0 to confirm their position in the Premier League.

As everyone knows, this is MU’s worst season in the history of the Premier League. Maybe Rashford, Antony, McTominay… all succeeded at their new teams simply because they are all in a much better environment than their old teams.
On the one hand, most players who leave MU become better at their new teams. On the other hand, excellent coaches who have shown their true talent, when brought to MU, are all helpless, no one can do anything. The story shows: The biggest problem that makes MU from an unrivaled giant on the English football field become the mess it is today is not because of any technical problems. It is not because the stars do not have real talent, nor because of any coach.
There are two ways of saying this. First, the stars who leave MU are more successful in other teams, as mentioned above. The other way of saying this is that no matter where the star is, once he joins MU, he immediately becomes mediocre. In this way of saying this, we must pay special attention to the strikers. Not only now, MU has been considered the "graveyard of strikers" for many years. From Anthony Martial, Romelu Lukaku, Radamel Falcao to Rasmus Hojlund, Memphis Depay, Wout Weghorst, all failed in MU's colors. We must repeat this tradition to understand why Rashford, Antony or Elanga immediately succeeded after leaving Old Trafford.
Is it because the playing style is too elaborate, complicated, and constantly changing when MU constantly changes coaches, or is it because MU is now too familiar with… failure, that good strikers have all become pale shadows in this team? It is very difficult to change, once it has become a "tradition".
