Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has justified his manager Erik ten Hag's words with a wonder goal against Manchester City in the derby on Sunday (March 3).

Erik Ten Hag heaped praises on Marcus Rashford ahead of the huge match and made a bold claim, stating the England star can be a threat and dismantle the Man City backline. He also warned that Rashford can be unstoppable if he does the right things on the pitch.

Rashford was going without a goal in five matches across all competitions. But Ten Hag kept faith in the player.

"What he can take from the past is that he can score a lot of goals. He can score against the biggest opponents in the world and against the best defenders in the world. It's just about him; if he has his attitude right on Sunday, he is unstoppable," Ten Hag said ahead of the match.

And the Man United striker has done no harm to his manager's faith. He scored a spectacular goal in the 8th minute of the match to give Red Devils the elusive lead.
