Relentless, which is an apt word to describe United’s schedule in 2020/21, is written by Tim Grover. It is subtitled ‘From Good to Great to Unstoppable’ and Grover explains: “That’s what this book is about. You don’t wait to be told, you don’t waver from your goal. When it’s time to act, you act, instinctively and without hesitation. As you will read in these pages: Done. Next.
“In sports, being relentless is measurable by victories and trophies and championships and rings.
“In real life, being relentless is a state of mind that can give you the strength to achieve, to survive, to overcome, to be strong when others are not. It means craving the end result so intensely that the work becomes irrelevant. Not just in sports, but in everything you do.”
We all know about what Marcus has continued to achieve off the field throughout the season. Tonight, though, it is the victory and trophy that he is striving for, which will cap another successful campaign on the pitch for the homegrown talent. Only one Red has played more United games this term (Bruno Fernandes has 57 to Marcus’s 56) and we’re asking him for one last big effort against Villarreal.
Relentless Rashford can step up to the plate once more.
