Man United, Man City deadlocked

Manchester United's Marcus Rashford dreams of continuing his remarkable year by netting against rivals Manchester City at Old Trafford.

In eight months the 18-year-old has gone from relatively unknown academy prospect to become one of the most feted young players in world football and hero of the Stretford End.

Few could have foreseen Rashford's debut brace in February's 5-1 Europa League win against FC Midtjylland and certainly not the way that form continued, swiftly going onto represent England and net 12 goals in all for his club.

Wednesday offers the chance to improve that tally and score a dream United goal when City arrive for a fascinatingly-poised EFL Cup last-16 clash.
