MANCHESTER -- Manchester United eased the pressure on manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with a 2-1 win over Tottenham and former boss Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford.
Marcus Rashford scored twice as United ended a run of three games without a win ahead of their trip to champions Manchester City in the derby on Saturday.
The England striker beat Paulo Gazzaniga at his near post to give United the lead after just six minutes. Tottenham equalized via Dele Alli's fourth goal in three games at the end of the first half but Rashford won the game after the break, drawing a foul from Moussa Sissoko in the box before beating Gazzaniga from the penalty spot.
