Rashford can be as key as Mbappe if scoring run continues (ESPN)

Marcus Rashford looks like a new player under Erik ten Hag. His manager compared him to PSG star Kylian Mbappe in the summer and it's not far off.

[Cristiano Ronaldo](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/22774/Cristiano-Ronaldo) has gone and there is no date for [Jadon Sancho](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/259836/Jadon-Sancho)'s return to action following a spell away to address his dip in form. When [Antony](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/315294/Antony) came out to warm up at half-time, the assumption was the Brazilian winger would replace Rashford, but instead it was Martial who came off. [Ederson](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/176948/Ederson) in the 82nd minute against City stretched his streak to at least one goal in seven straight games. His latest effort was enough to ensure a first derby win at Old Trafford since 2020 and back up the chant that, like Rashford, Manchester is red. He has found it since returning from Qatar and looks like the player United fans hoped he would become when he burst onto the scene as an 18-year-old in 2016. In the end he got rewarded and the team got rewarded." [Marcus Rashford](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/230945/Marcus-Rashford) stayed on the Old Trafford pitch to fulfil his postmatch media duties. It was a big statement from the United manager but after eight goals in seven games across all competitions, it's not looking that outlandish. It also said a lot that Rashford was in the right place to score the winner from Garnacho's cross despite missing two good chances in the the first half, one cleared off the line by Walker. Teenager [Alejandro Garnacho](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/325555/Alejandro-Garnacho) helped change the game when he was introduced in the 72nd minute but beyond that, the only other attacking option on the bench was [Anthony Elanga](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/296622/Anthony-Elanga), who hasn't scored all season. While many will debate whether the striker interfered with play in To put that into context, the 25-year-old has already scored five goals in 2023 and the year is only 14 days old.

'Anything is possible' - Marcus Rashford celebrates as Manchester ... (Eurosport.com)

Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes celebrated a new-found Manchester United team spirit after their 2-1 win over Manchester City on Saturday.

“We have to look forward to the next game. We’ll celebrate a big win but from tomorrow our focus has to be on the next game." The only one close was the one close to me, so it is what it is. “So he doesn’t make any influence on the team-mates to defend. “It was an amazing comeback from the team,” he told BT Sport. “He doesn’t have any influence because there was nobody close to him,” he argued.

Football: Rashford bags winner as United pip City to rise to third (The Straits Times)

It was the England international's 8th goal in 7 matches. Read more at straitstimes.com.

“The rules say Marcus didn’t touch the ball and he wasn’t interfering. We won a lot, so it’s not a problem,” he said. The assistant referee initially flagged for offside and City were livid at the decision to allow the goal to stand. Rashford was clearly offside as he raced towards Casemiro’s pass, but crucially did not touch the ball and left it for Fernandes to sweep home. But City have struggled this season to match the consistency that has won them four Premier League titles in the past five years and were undone by a hugely controversial equaliser. By contrast, City are blessed with an abundance of talent in the final third and Guardiola’s ability to make game-changing substitutions looked to have swung the game in their favour.

Rashford emulates Ronaldo's Ballon d'Or year, Benzema overtakes ... (ESPN)

Marcus Rashford is the first Manchester United player to score in seven consecutive appearances across all competitions since Cristiano Ronaldo did it in April ...

This was the first time Napoli beat Juventus by a four-goal margin in Serie A. This was also Benzema's 13th El Clasico goal, overtaking Carlos Alonso 'Santillana' for the eighth-most goals in El Clasico history and the sixth-most by a Real Madrid player. This was also Xavi's first trophy as Barcelona manager, and the club's 14th SdE trophy (more than any other team - Real Madrid have won it 12 times). Gavi is the youngest player in Supercopa de Espana history to score in the final. It was also Rashford's ninth consecutive goal at home, tying Dennis Viollet of the Busby Babes for a club record (1959). Arsenal ended their eight-game winless run away to Spurs, their first win since 2014. He's also the first Barcelona player to register a goal and two assists in an El Clasico game since Johan Cruyff.

Palace are now in his sights. Ten Hag was nearly without his star man for the second half against City after Rashford went down apparently complaining of a hip injury. The Reds face three consecutive away games before he will get the opportunity to elevate himself above Viollet’s heroics.

This is the most important detail we have to improve for the future." Monopolise the ball and they just defend, defend and wait for the right action." After we concede the goal, in the next few minutes we cannot concede the next one. "The rule is the rule, the interpretation belongs to the referee. "The decision is of course [belonging to] the referees and VAR. The situation is for the referees."
