Marcus Rashford scored the winning goal at Old Trafford last year as Manchester United came from behind to beat Manchester City 2-1 — the ninth time in a row he had scored at his home ground.The England forward went on to score 30 goals for the club during the season, lifting himself into the bracket of elite forwards.
Manager Erik ten Hag predicted earlier this month that Rashford would soon be “on fire”, but the 25-year-old has failed to score for United since then, though he netted for England at Wembley. Son Heung-min, with seven league goals, continues to fill the void left by the departed Harry Kane while James Maddison’s arrival from Leicester has added a new creative dimension, with five assists and three goals so far.
