Forward Marcus Rashford continued his goalscoring form for Manchester United as he helped lead his side to a 2-0 win over Leeds United Elland Road on Sunday.

Rashford broke the deadlock in the 80th minute, connecting with a cross from defender Luke Shaw to head the ball past Leeds goalkeeper Illan Meslier.

Just five minutes later, winger Alejandro Garnacho doubled United’s lead with a clean finish from a pass from Wout Weghorst to seal the win.

Forward Crysencio Summerville and new signing midfielder Weston McKennie impressed for the home side but were unable find a breakthrough.

The result sees United move to second place in the table, one point ahead of Manchester City who face Aston Villa later today, while Leeds are in 16th.
