Marcus Rashford thinks his winner in the Manchester Derby back in 2016 was his biggest achievement so far.
With Romelu Lukaku doubtful for the big clash on Sunday, Jose Mourinho could unleash the youngster from the start in a bid to make his presence count on the pitch.
Despite given several chances Rashford has struggled to make an impact this season. His injury time winner against Bournemouth could be the first of many as the youngster is expected to add many more goals to his current tally.
The 21 year old broke into the first scene in the 2015-16 season under Louis van Gaal’s guidance and since then hasn’t looked back. He went on to nail a place in the United first team and also has been a key member of Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions team.
Rashford said, “For me, personally, to score the winner there was the biggest feeling in my career.
“Obviously, winning trophies is always your aim, but I’d say, on a personal note, that was the biggest feeling I’ve had.
“Derbies are always tough games, but I think they’re the games in which you always learn the most. There can be games where you win 3-0 or 4-0 and everyone’s happy but what have you learnt from the game itself?
“Of course you learn in every game and you’re delighted with the result but there are games where you win 1-0 or you draw 1-1, when things are that little bit tighter, and what you learn from those matches you then take into the next one. They’re the games that I love to be involved in.”
