Marcus Rashford, despite being omitted from the squad, expressed his delight following Manchester United's last-minute 2-1 win over Manchester City in the Premier League.
In a thrilling Manchester derby, Manchester United secured a 2-1 victory against Manchester City, with a stoppage-time goal sealing the win.
