Brace-scorer Marcus has been chosen as our key man, with 57 per cent of the vote, following another highly influential showing.
Backing up his assist for Jadon Sancho’s winner at Leicester in midweek, Rashford put the ball on a plate for new recruit Antony in the first half, who would go on to open the scoring with his first goal for the Reds.
After Bukayo Saka made it 1-1 on the hour mark, Rashford got on the scoresheet himself to restore our advantage, placing the ball past Aaron Ramsdale after being superbly put through on goal by an inch-perfect Bruno Fernandes through ball.
Our no.10 then doubled up on his tally for the day, finishing into an empty net after he was unselfishly teed up by Christian Eriksen, less than 10 minutes after his first strike.

Rashford once again led the line for the Reds as a lone striker and delighted his manager Erik ten Hag with his performance.
"He was brilliant,” The boss told MUTV post-match.
“It was a really great performance from him. As a striker, he was pressing. But also, when we played it over him and he was the target, he made the right decisions. For instance, also with the goal for Antony.
“Finally, he was twice in behind and finished. It was a great performance and I'm really happy because he has invested a lot."
