Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford’s superb run of form continued as he netted a goal in each half of his side’s 3-0 Premier League win over Leicester City to extend his scoring streak to five games.

Leicester were left to rue wasteful early finishing when Rashford latched onto a pass down the right from Bruno Fernandes and rifled the ball across keeper Danny Ward and into the net after 25 minutes at Old Trafford.

Rashford bagged his second in the 56th minute, cutting in from the left and tearing into the box before guiding the ball home to register his 14th league goal of the season and his 25th in all competitions.

Substitute Jadon Sancho added a brilliant third five minutes later when Lisandro Martinez won the ball in midfield to allow Rashford to feed Sancho, who played a quick exchange of passes with Fernandes before drilling home.

United had to ride out a wave of pressure from the Foxes and are indebted to De Gea for their lead at the break. They've not been great in the contest, but Ten Hag's men have been resilient to secure results without playing to their best. He will be eyeing a clean sheet to take momentum forward into the EFL Cup final.

Manchester United hold a 1-0 lead over Leicester City at the break courtesy of Marcus Rashford's strike. Rashford scored against the run of play to notch his 13th Premier League goal of the campaign handing the Red Devils a fortunate advantage. The Foxes had two great chances to take the lead but David de Gea was on point to deny Harvey Barnes and Kelechi Iheanacho with outstanding stops. Leicester will feel aggrieved to be behind, but there's a lot of football still to be played.
