Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, and Fred all scored goals to give Manchester United a victory over Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford on Tuesday, December 27th.
After 19 minutes of play, Rashford scored a fantastic first goal after being set up by Christian Eriksen in a rehearsed corner routine. Three minutes later, United were up 2-0. This time, Rashford was the provider, cutting inside from the left before passing to Martial, who squeaked the ball past Wayne Hennessey. With three minutes left, Fred came off the bench and scored United's third goal.
Casemiro performed admirably throughout and he finished off an outstanding performance by providing an elegant assist for his countryman Fred late in the game. Nottingham Forest attempted to advance whenever they could, but they were unable to fully test David de Gea, and the prospect of a counterattack from Manchester United prevented Forest from advancing farther.
After Argentina defeated France to win the World Cup, Lisandro Martinez was unable to play, therefore Raphael Varane, a beaten finalist, offered to start alongside Luke Shaw in center defense. Aaron Wan-Bissaka, making his first league start of the season, completed an unusual back-four.
