'Best in the world!' - Man United fans say same thing after Marcus Rashford goal vs Leicester

Manchester United's supporters lauded Marcus Rashford after he fired the Reds into a 1-0 lead at home to Leicester City on Sunday afternoon, maintaining his outstanding run of form.

After calling upon goalkeeper David de Gea to keep the scores level at the other end of the pitch, producing outstanding saves to thwart both Harvey Barnes and then Kelechi Iheanacho in the opening exchanges, Rashford fired the home side in front with 25 minutes on the clock.
