UtdFaithfuls tweeted out a remarkable stat, which showed just how of a difference Alejandro Garnacho made when he came on to the pitch as he had more touches in the City box than any other United player (5), even though he came on in the 72nd minute. With United needing a goal and the Argentine stepped up as one of those six touches resulted in a match-winning assist for Marcus Rashford.
Just seen this stat that Garnacho had more touches in Man City's box than any other Man Utd player (5), despite coming on in the 72nd minute, and one of those touches was the match-winning assist for Rashford.
Reminder that he's only 18. 🤯 pic.twitter.com/24D6PVvGR3

Erik ten Hag has now beaten four of the traditional top six managers in the space of just six months as he beat Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal 3-1 back in September, he beat Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool 2-1 at Old Trafford, and he beat Antonio Conte’s Tottenham 2-0 at the Theatre of Dreams in October, as well as that he beat City 2-1 yesterday to record a victory over Pep Guardiola.
Still can't believe Erik ten Hag did this in his first season as Man Utd's manager, after losing the first 2 games.. pic.twitter.com/Vow8bFlqiy

Rashford’s hot goal scoring form continues as he netted once again at Old Trafford, which now means that he became the first player since Teddy Sherringham back in November 2000 to score in each of last nine home games [Sky Sports]. It also puts him level with Dennis Viollet, who achieved the same feat back in 1959.

The Mancunian has now scored in every single one of his last seven appearances in all competitions (8 in total), the first United player to achieve that feat since Cristiano Ronaldo back in April 2008 [Sky Sports], and hopefully from a United perspective that impressive goal streak can continue.
Marcus Rashford scores again 🔥
He matches Cristiano Ronaldo’s seven-game run from 2008 😮💨 pic.twitter.com/UOKzi6nKK9
