Manchester: Marcus Rashford admits Manchester United did it the hard way after his dramatic extra-time winner sealed victory over Anderlecht in the Europa League quarter-finals.
The United striker hit the winning goal after 107 minutes at Old Trafford to follow up his earlier assist for Henrikh Mkhitaryan's opener, Sofiane Hanni's first-half strike for the visitors having ultimately forced extra time.
Rashford was one of many home players guilty of missing chances when the tie was level, but was relieved to see Jose Mourinho's side eventually win 2-1 on the night and claim a 3-2 aggregate triumph to reach the last four.
"All you can do is keep trying to create chances and that is what we kept doing," Rashford, who also starred in the weekend Premier League win over Chelsea, said to BT Sport.
"We pinned them back in the second half and started pushing as a team, which is what the game needed at that time. We had a lot of chances and could have scored a lot of goals but sometimes games go like that. We got one in the end and everyone is happy now.
"You just have to keep going and hope you get another chance. We have done it the hard way but none of that matters now," Rashford said.
