With Zlatan Ibrahimovic having an off day, Manchester United turned to a striker at the opposite end of his career to keep its winning run going in the English Premier League on Saturday. Marcus Rashford came off the bench and scored two minutes into injury time to give United a 1-0 victory at Hull, lifting the team alongside Chelsea on a maximum nine points. The 18-year-old Rashford was a revelation in the second half of last season, scoring eight goals after coming from the youth set-up to solve an injury crisis, but has been displaced by offseason signing Ibrahimovic under new coach Jose Mourinho.
