RASH ITCHING FOR REBOUND

MARCUS RASHFORD is fond of scoring against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

Going into last night's Premier League encounter, Rashford had notched three goals there - all in the red of his boyhood club Manchester United.

On his return to Manchester, Aston Villa's on-loan striker was determined to add to that tally and came agonisingly close to doing so after just 20 seconds.

Picking up a pass from Youri Tielemans, Rashford turned Ruben Dias inside out, making enough room to fire a shot across Stefan Ortega in the City goal.

Fortunately for the City duo, Rashford's shot cannoned off a post and straight back into the arms of Ortega.
