Marcus Rashford scored his 23rd and 24th Manchester United goals of the season in Sunday's 3-0 win over Leicester.

Rashford beat keeper Danny Ward with a confident drilled finish after being assisted by Bruno Fernandes in the 25th minute.

The 25-year-old had now scored more club goals this season than in any of his previous seven campaigns in United's first-team.

But Rashford was not finished yet.

He doubled United's lead 11 minutes into the second half after beating the Leicester offside trap.

Rashford was initially flagged offside but a VAR review reversed that decision and awarded the goal.

Jadon Sancho came off the bench to wrap up United's 3-0 victory.

Rashford's most prolific season had been 2019/20 when he scored 22 goals in 44 games.

His first 24 goals in the current campaign have come in just 36 matches.

Rashford only netted five times in 32 matches last season.
