Rashford's influential role in United's comeback win over Forest

It was little surprise that captain Bruno Fernandes topped our Man of the Match poll after a talismanic display, which included setting up Casemiro’s equaliser and firing home the winning penalty.

But Marcus’s part in the dramatic turnaround, as the Reds earned a 3-2 win at Old Trafford, should not be overlooked.

After leading the attack in our first two games of the season, our no.10 reverted to his favoured role from the left flank against Forest as Anthony Martial started up front.

Forest’s fast start saw the visitors go 2-0 up inside four minutes and the setback required a strong recovery from the Reds, which Rashford helped to inspire.
