Marcus Rashford sweeps in Manchester United's first goal against Nottingham ForestMarcus Rashford has scored five goals in his past five starts for Manchester United and England

Marcus Rashford continued his fine form as Manchester United dominated Nottingham Forest in the Premier League to show further signs of their revival.

The in-form England forward, who scored three goals at the World Cup, swept in a well-worked corner routine from Christian Eriksen to put United ahead.

Rashford then teed up Anthony Martial to fire in a shot which Forest keeper Wayne Hennessey should have saved.

Fred clipped in a late third as fifth-placed United sealed a deserved win.

Since losing 6-3 in the Manchester derby, Erik ten Hag's side have lost just once in eight league matches.
