Manchester United's Marcus Rashford’s Hot Run of Form Continues

Red Devils top the league after win against Southampton at Old Trafford

Rashford’s brace sends United three points clear at the top of the Premier League

Manchester United's impressive run of form under Erik ten Hag continued on Saturday, as the Red Devils secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Southampton at Old Trafford.

Marcus Rashford was the hero for United, scoring twice in the second half to cancel out Che Adams' opener for Southampton. The win moved United three points clear at the top of the Premier League table, with Newcastle United and Arsenal hot on their heels.

Ten Hag praised Rashford's performance after the game, saying: "He was excellent today. He's in a great moment. He's scoring goals, he's creating chances, and he's working hard for the team. I'm very happy with his performance."

Rashford has now scored five goals in his last six games for United, and he will be looking to continue his hot run of form when the Red Devils face Crystal Palace in their next game.

Here are some of the key highlights from the match:

• Marcus Rashford scored twice for Manchester United, including a stunning free-kick.
• Che Adams gave Southampton the lead in the first half.
• Manchester United dominated possession and had more chances, but they were wasteful in front of goal.
• Erik ten Hag praised Rashford's performance and said he is in a "great moment.".

The win was United's sixth in a row in all competitions, and it extended their unbeaten run to eight games. Ten Hag's team are now firmly in the title race, and they will be confident of challenging for their first Premier League title since 2013.

Southampton, meanwhile, remain in the relegation zone, and they will need to start picking up points soon if they want to avoid the drop.
