Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford proved that he is the real deal after scoring one and creating another as the Red Devils cruised to a three-nil victory over an out-of-sorts Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford last night.
Rashford curled a superb opener from a Christian Eriksen corner kick after just 19 minutes before setting up Antony Martial for United’s second three minutes later.
A Brazilian connection between Casemiro and Fred three minutes from full time sealed the three-nil victory which saw Manchester United moving to within a point of fourth-placed Tottenham.
Earlier in the day, Chelsea edged Bournemouth two-nil at Stamford Bridge, to boost their top-four hopes.
Kai Havertz and Mason Mount were the match winners for Chelsea.
Action continues this evening as Leeds host defending Champions Manchester City at Elland Road.
