Bruno Fernandes' touch saw Rashford score first goal in Boxing Day opener

After missing a clear chance with a header in the first minute from Fernandes' cross, Marcus Rashford made no mistake when he got a second opportunity to beat Schmeichel. 

He can thank Man Utd's best player in Bruno Fernandes for the goal. His slight touch took out the defenders and left him one on one with the keeper. 

It all started down the right with Daniel James trying to cut inside from the edge of the box, but the United player was unable to keep the ball. 

Bruno Fernandes deflected the loose ball towards Rashford and the number 10 got away from his marker to slot the ball past Schmeichel. That put Solskjaer's men 0-1 up in the opening match on Boxing Day.
