MANCHESTER, England : Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag labelled Marcus Rashford "unstoppable" after the England forward continued his fine form to earn his side a 2-1 victory over Manchester City on Saturday to get fans dreaming of a Premier League title again.Rashford scored for the ninth successive home match in all competitions to snatch a late win for United over their city rivals, moving Ten Hag's team to within a point of the champions in the standings.

"Fans may dream, but we are not," Ten Hag added. "We have to keep our feet on the ground and realise our game still
