WATCH: Red-hot Marcus Rashford sets new personal-best goal return with Man Utd opener against Leicester

  • Rashford secured first-half lead for United

WHAT HAPPENED? The attacker continued his excellent goal scoring run when he latched on to a pass from Bruno Fernandes and went on to send it beyond Foxes goalkeeper Danny Ward.

Rashford went on to double his team's lead with another goal in the second half, before Jadon Sancho made it 3-0.
