Rashford has been signalling to the bench for some time, in discomfort it seems. Doctor Gary O'Driscoll waiting by touchline to provide some aid. #MUFC
It's possibly not a coincidence given recent form that Rashford's best moment came from just hitting it without dwelling on it.
A thrilling start to the Manchester derby! 😮💨 #BBCFootball #MCIMUN https://t.co/RcMN0Nrak5
Rashford could have a hat-trick but has taken his most difficult opportunity. United making bad decisions and hesitating even though getting in behind a lot. City seem to be playing through United at will. And yet...
Rashford should have 2
