Rashford named Man of the Match

Our no.10 took home a whopping 74 per cent of the fans' votes on our Official App thanks to his match-winning double.

The opener, a nervelessly-converted first-half penalty, showed Rashford’s composure in front of goal, although Michy Batshuayi cancelled it out with a solo effort on the hour mark.

Undaunted, the Academy graduate dusted himself down and struck a sensational free-kick from 35 yards out into the top left-hand corner of Willy Caballero’s goal, in front of the jubilant travelling support.

“Yeah, Marcus has that strike in him. I’ve seen him in training so many times and he’s got to be hitting the target soon, you think,” Ole Gunnar Solskjaer told Sky Sports.
