Man United's Marcus Rashford can be as important as Kylian Mbappe if goal-scoring run continues

MANCHESTER, England -- After scoring the winner in the 189th Manchester Derby, Marcus Rashford stayed on the Old Trafford pitch to fulfil his postmatch media duties. That done, he saluted the Manchester United fans who had stayed behind to celebrate the 2-1 comeback win over Manchester City in the Stretford End and was greeted with a rendition of his song: "Like Manchester, Rashford is red."

The terrace chant has been heard a lot recently as Rashford has gone on the best goal-scoring run of his career. His close-range finish past Ederson in the 82nd minute against City stretched his streak to at least one goal in seven straight games.
