The 18-year-old striker became Man Utd's hero when he scored the only goal to beat Hull 1-0.

Rashford's goal came in the second minute of stoppage time. The English striker rushed from behind and tapped the ball into the Hull net from Rooney's cross. Rashford's goal was a late sweet reward for Man Utd after 90 minutes of tireless pressure.

Before Rashford scored, Hull played a strong defense, neutralizing and blocking Man Utd's chances as well as not allowing the away team's strikers to have a comfortable match. However, just one moment of not being decisive in stopping Rooney caused the whole team's efforts to go to waste.

The win over Hull gave Man Utd their third consecutive Premier League win. The team remains second in the table, behind Chelsea on goal difference. Man Utd could drop to third if Man City beat West Ham tomorrow.

Mourinho kept the same Man Utd line-up as in the victory over Southampton in the second round. Striker Ibrahimovic was the most notable player after his recent consecutive scoring streak. In addition, Paul Pogba also had his second appearance for Man Utd after returning with a record contract.

However, Man Utd's expensive stars have been somewhat overshadowed by an old coach, Mike Phelan. The former Man Utd player and assistant coach Alex Ferguson is showing his cool hand when being given temporary responsibility at Hull. After two opening victories, Hull under Phelan's leadership gave Man Utd a difficult challenge until the last minutes.

Ibrahimovic, Rooney, Pogba and Martial tested their mettle against the defence and goalkeeper Eldin Jakupovic but failed to win once in 90 minutes. Man Utd players often found themselves in poor positions when shooting with several Hull players in front of them. Hull's spirit was a powerful weapon that helped them surprise in difficult times. Including all the substitutes Hull used against Man Utd, manager Mike Phelan has used only 14 names this season.

On the Man Utd side, coach Mourinho showed his eagerness to win when he sent Mkhitaryan and Marcus Rashford onto the field in the second half. The appearance of this duo immediately made Man Utd's play come alive with their ability to dribble at speed. Rooney was pushed to the left wing, making room for his two juniors in the middle, and suddenly shone with a skillful handling situation at the end of the match to set up Rashford.

Winning a tough game like Hull is a great morale boost for Man Utd under the new regime. Last season, "Red Devils" fans had to witness Man Utd's stalemate against teams with a large defense. Rashford's goal is a positive sign that the team is regaining the winning style, even in the last seconds, as under Ferguson.
