Marcus Rashford shares Manchester United goalscoring 'bet' family made ahead of 100th goal

Marcus Rashford has revealed that his brothers challenged him to score 100 goals for Manchester United before his 25th birthday, as he reached the milestone against West Ham on Sunday with just one day to spare.

Erik ten Hag's side continued their unbeaten streak thanks to a 38th-minute header from Rashford. Christian Eriksen did superbly well to pick out the 25-year-old at the back-post, as the Dane's perfectly weighted cross was headed firmly beyond the reach of Lukasz Fabianski.

Rashford's goal was always coming, as the United forward managed to fire off three shots inside the first 16 minutes, showing his attacking intent from the outset. Speaking after the game, the forward revealed that becoming the 22nd player to reach the century mark for the club had been weighing on his mind.
