'Perfect' - Manchester United fans hail Marcus Rashford after magic moments vs Nottingham Forest

The England international, fresh from scoring an outstanding solo effort against Burnley in the Carabao Cup last week, fired the Reds in front with 19 minutes on the clock, sweeping home a first-time effort from Christian Eriksen's low corner. Rashford found space inside the area and fired an excellent, curling finish past goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey.

United's supporters had barely finished celebrating the academy graduate's opener before they were on their feet celebrating a second. This time, Rashford turned provider, setting up Anthony Martial for his fifth goal of the campaign.
