Marcus Rashford Adds to His Collection of Manchester Derby Goals With Stunning Strike Against City
Marcus Rashford scored a stunning goal from long range to fire Manchester United into an early lead at rivals Manchester City in Sunday's derby.
The 26-year-old rocketed a shot into the net via the underside of the crossbar from 25 yards in the eighth minute after being teed up by Bruno Fernandes.
This was Rashford's sixth goal in a Manchester derby, coming in his 20th career appearance against City.
His first was scored back in March 2016 in a 1-0 United win at the Etihad Stadium.
However, Rashford found himself on the losing side on Sunday after City hit back to win 3-1 thanks to two goals by Phil Foden and one from Erling Haaland.
