All of the attackers had a great time in their recent outing against Southampton as they had to play against 10 men for most of the match. Another red for the saints saw them play with only nine men on the pitch in the later stages of the game.
A 9-0 riot of Southampton is a record in itself but there was another record that may have gone comparatively unnoticed. Marcus Rashford scored the 83rd goal of his Manchester United career against Southampton.
With this goal, he surpassed the number of goals scored by Eric Cantona who is another club legend in his own rights. Rashford was excited as he broke this tally and has already started to cement his name at Old Trafford at such a young age.
