In the highly anticipated Manchester derby, Marcus Rashford emerged as the hero for Manchester United, scoring a stunning goal against Premier League champions Manchester City. With Pep Guardiola expecting a strong performance from his team, Rashford delivered, silencing the Etihad Stadium crowd with his brilliance.
Rashford’s goal came in the eighth minute of the match, assisted by Bruno Fernandes. The England international unleashed a powerful long-range shot that flew into the top corner, reminiscent of Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic strikes. The goal gave United an early lead and sent shockwaves through the City defense.
Rashford’s strike was not only a moment of individual brilliance but also a testament to his growing stature as a world-class forward. With 30 career goals against the “big six” rivals in the Premier League, Rashford has joined the ranks of Manchester United legends Wayne Rooney and Eric Cantona.
The goal also marked a significant milestone for Rashford, as he became the third player in United’s history to score the most goals in the Manchester derby. Rooney holds the record with eight goals, while Cantona has seven.
Under the guidance of Erik ten Hag, Manchester United are hoping to end their losing streak against their bitter rivals at the Etihad. However, City have been dominant in recent derby clashes, scoring 10 goals in their last two home matches against United.
Despite the challenge, Rashford’s goal has given United fans hope that they can overcome their rivals and secure a crucial victory. The match promises to be a thrilling encounter, with both teams eager to prove their superiority in the Premier League.
