Manchester derby gave us another epic face-off between two of the Premier League’s biggest rivals on Saturday night. United pulled a major upset against Man City, beating them 2-1 thanks to Marcus Rashford's amazing performance. After a humiliating 6–3 defeat in their last face-off back in October, United managed to make an epic comeback. The first half was pretty uneventful, but both teams took things more seriously as the game neared its final stage, with Jack Grealish opening the scoring for Man City. United evened out the score with Bruno Fernandes’s equalizer, and Marcus Rashford scored another goal just four minutes later, leading his side to the 2-1 win. This match cemented Rashford’s status as one of United’s most valuable players. Manager Erik ten Hag praised his performance and said he’ll contribute to a successful season if he keeps developing his skills. "A player like Marcus, but others in our squad - Anthony Martial is the same - when they stay in the game, mentally and are focused, with 100% concentration, they have the skills and only need one moment to change the game in a positive way,” said Ten Hag. Man City remains second in the Premier League rankings despite this loss, but United is just one point behind after its eighth straight win across all competitions.
