After 16 minutes, Rashford took the pass from Mata, humiliated Demichelis and slotted low past England goalkeeper Joe Hart. City had plenty of time to equalise – more than 75 minutes – but couldn’t.
This was a Manchester derby and Rashford is a Manc who was born put on a red shirt and score that goal.
About five years ago I made an observation/prediction here on ANR.
I said: As footballers get richer, teams will have to get younger.
Back then I believed that in most cases multi-millionaires who have won big trophies and played in World Cups will not run as fast or as far as younger players who want to make their name.
( OK, Dani Alves, Kenny Dalglish and some other self-disciplined, self-motivated warriors don’t come into that category. )
