Twitter reacts as Marcus Rashford decides an enthralling Manchester derby

Manchester United came from behind to win an enthralling Manchester derby full of quality and controversy in equal measure.

City humiliated their rivals when the two met earlier this season, prevailing 6-3, but with United finding their feet under Erik ten Hag since then, a closer counter was expected this time around.

It quickly became clear that it would indeed be one with little to choose between the two teams in the opening stages of the matches, largely because Kevin de Bruyne was being kept out of the game by a Brazilian shadow in Fred, a surprise inclusion in the United XI who took the Old Trafford faithful back the days of Ander Herrera with his tight marking.

With Pep Guardiola’s main creative force stifled, it was Ten Hag’s team that created the first chance of the match with Marcus Rashford having an effort cleared off the line after rounding Ederson before having the ball taken from his feet by the goalkeeper inside the box.

With the Englishman looking so dangerous, there was fear throughout the Theatre of Dreams when he pulled up shortly before half-time and went down in pain.

To the delight of the United faithful though, he was fit enough to stay on for the second half, and they weren’t too gutted about Anthony Martial being taken off either.
