The Etihad Stadium has been the setting for some of Marcus Rashford's most memorable highlights. Like nutmegging defender Martin Demichelis to score in his first Manchester derby as a teenager in March 2016. Or his nerveless penalty in another derby win for Manchester United in December 2019. Last season, he scored arguably the best goal of his career with a fierce shot that crashed in off the underside of the crossbar.
It was almost unimaginable then -- a little over a year ago -- that it could be his last appearance in a Manchester derby, but he returns to the Etihad on Tuesday as an Aston Villa player with his career at a crossroads.
