Manchester United fans are under the impression that club legend David Beckham fired shots at Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho after the former midfielder praised Ruben Amorim’s men’s performance in their 2-1 win over Manchester City . At the Etihad Stadium, it was Josko Gvardiol who opened the scoring, heading home Kevin De Bruyne’s deflected cross in the 36th minute, and the Croat and his teammates were in the lead up until the 88th minute when Bruno Fernandes converted from the spot. In typical Sir Alex Ferguson fashion, Amorim ’s side left it late to win the all-Manchester derby, the 195th of its kind, as Amad dinked it over Ederson before slotting home into a relatively empty net as Gvardiol tried his best to clear the ball in the dying embers.
GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Rashford is Man Utd’s top goalscorer in the Premier League this season (four) alongside Bruno Fernandes. Even before a ball had been kicked, controversy swirled as Amorim, taking charge of his first of potentially many Manchester derbies, decided to leave both Rashford and Garnacho – one of the best young players in world football – out of his matchday squad to take on the four-in-a-row champions. Although former Red Devils skipper Roy Keane believes he has seen something he doesn’t like behind the scenes since arriving, Lisboa-born Amorim has insisted that his decision to omit the Carrington graduates was solely down to squad selection.
