Alan Shearer names two Manchester United stars in Premier League Team of the Week

Rashford scored twice either side of half-time as United cruised to a 3-0 win at home to Leicester City on Sunday, the 25-year-old continuing to stake his claim to be the best forward in the world in 2023.

It was Rashford who rightly took the headlines as a clinical brace saw him climb to 24 goals for the season and 16 since the return of domestic action following the World Cup - more than anyone else across Europe's top five leagues.

Portuguese midfielder Fernandes enjoyed yet another outstanding display in red. His two assists took the 28-year-old up to 15 goal contributions for the season - the second most at the club but still less than half of Rashford's incredible 31 - and he was also named in Shearer's team.
On Fernandes, Shearer said: "Conducted the play like only he can. His superb passes created two of Man Utd's three goals."
