Marcus Rashford sends Arsenal and Man City pointed title message after Man United beat Leicester

Marcus Rashford has sent Arsenal and Manchester City a message after Manchester United defeated Leicester City 3-0 on Sunday afternoon.

The result means that United are now just three points behind City and five behind league-leaders Arsenal, who also have a game in hand on the two Manchester-based clubs.

After the full-time whistle at Old Trafford, Rashford was asked about his side's potential title credentials, admitting that Erik ten Hag's side are 'there' in terms of the title race.

"Obviously, we are there, we are close," he told Sky Sports. "At the same time, both teams in front of us are really good teams and they are playing good football at the minute as well."

However, United have a packed fixture list in the coming weeks, playing the second leg of their Europa League round of 32 tie against Barcelona on Thursday before facing Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.

Next up for Arsenal is a trip to the King Power Stadium, where they will take on the aforementioned Leicester on Saturday, whilst City take on RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Wednesday before travelling to the Vitality Stadium on Saturday to do battle with Bournemouth.
