[Video Highlights] Man City 0-1 Man Utd: Rashford The Hero Once Again For Utd
Marcus Rashford scored a superb winner as Manchester United closed in on the top four with a 1-0 victory over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
Marcus Rashford scored a superb winner as Manchester United closed in on the top four with a 1-0 victory over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium this afternoon.
United knew they needed to beat their Manchester rivals in order to keep alive their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League next season and they got off to the perfect start as the visitors opened the scoring inside the opening twenty minutes.
Youngster Marcus Rashford has established himself in Louis van Gaal’s first team in recent weeks and was once again the hero as he burst in to the City area before cooly slotting past Joe Hart in the 16th minute.
City pushed for an equaliser but couldn’t find their way past a resolute United defence so van Gaal’s men left with a vital three points which sees them go level with West Ham and move to within just one point of fourth-placed City.
