Preseason: Lukaku, Rashford score as Man U defeat City

Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford found the net as Manchester United claimed a 2-0 win over Manchester City in Houston.

The first ever Manchester derby played on foreign soil was an open affair devoid of any real chances, until £35million keeper Ederson went walkabout, and was ruthlessly punished by £75million hitman Lukaku.

Less than two minutes later, United’s lead was doubled, a clinical finish from Rashford – after being teed up by Henrikh Mkhitaryan – making it three goals in as many games for the England forward.

City tested David de Gea, with Raheem Sterling going close, but it was United who went closest to a third, with Lukaku smashing an effort off the crossbar.
