Marcus Rashford presented his Mum with the 'Man of the Match' award for Mothers Day.

Class.

On Saturday, the 20-year-old bagged a brilliant first-half brace as United beat fierce rivals Liverpool 2-1, to secure all-three points.

Rashford opened the scoring after running onto a Romelu Lukaku headed-flick. After sprinting past Trent Alexander-Arnold, he cut onto his right-foot, stroking home a sublime finish.

He then doubled his sides lead with another tidy finish, before leaving the field in the second-half to a rousing reception from the Old Trafford faithfuls.

And a day removed from his goal-scoring heroics, Rashford has handed over his 'MOTM' award to his mother.

Rashford's double sees his goal-tally grow to 12 in the season, in all competitions.

And he'll be hoping for a regular spot in Jose Mourinho's XI after predominately coming off the bench.

Speaking after the game, he spoke about patience while revealing his 'bad' first touch for one of his goals.

"It's partly patience but it's football and you have to be ready when your chance comes. Everybody works hard in training and when moments like this happen it's not a surprise.

"My first touch was bad so I had to recover it in my second and the rest was simple. It gives you the confidence to get more," he added.

Meanwhile, United recorded their 20th league victory of the season, and move five points clear of third place Liverpool as the race for second place hots up.

Next up for Rashford and co. is the return leg against Sevilla in the Champions League.
