Under-18s: United 2 Newcastle 0
Marcus Rashford scored both goals as Manchester United defeated Newcastle United 2-0 in the Barclays Under-18 Premier League.
The talented forward, back after international duty with the England Under-18s, struck six minutes before the end of both halves to clinch a double over the North-East outfit.
The Reds started well in torrential rain with recent recruit Timothy Fosu-Mensah going close with a wonderful long-range attempt but the Magpies weathered the storm and had a good opening of their own when Adam Laidler landed a shot on top of the net on 17 minutes.
Sean Longstaff also hammered off target for the visitors but they were undone by a moment of magic six minutes before half-time. Rashford collected the ball on the left from Joe Riley, cut inside and unleashed a swerving shot that totally foxed Paul Woolston and skipped past his despairing dive.
Paul McGuinness' side went for the kill but Jamie Cobain cleared a dangerous centre by Rashford from inside the six-yard box and the goalscorer then went solo with a purposeful run and was thwarted by Woolston's block at his near post.
Riley bent wide after a dubious free-kick was awarded, possibly because the referee felt a throw-in did not get a touch when it was miscontrolled by a defender. After the break, Fosu-Mensah spurned a clear chance when the ball bounced up awkwardly from a Callum Gribbin pass and he skied his finish.
Zachary Dearnley produced a tame shot after a marvellous run and, soon afterwards, survived a penalty shout after a tangle with Mackenzie Heaney as the outcome remained in the balance. Tyler Reid was forced to clear off the line from Cobain after Dean Henderson misjudged a corner but United also pressed with Devonte Redmond twice unlucky.
The midfielder saw a drive deflect off target and then had a drive charged down by Laidler following a powerful run by Fosu-Mensah that caused problems in the Tynesiders' box.
Henderson recovered well to save from Longstaff after initially losing the ball and that proved the final scare as Rashford put the game beyond doubt with his second strike in the 84th minute. Fosu-Mensah was fouled outside the area and Rashford swept a low free-kick wide of Woolston to claim his brace. *
Newcastle had a couple of late chances to halve the deficit but Henderson was able to retain his clean sheet on a rain-sodden surface at Altrincham's J. Davidson Stadium.
