VIDEO: Manchester United Take Lead Against Manchester City After Scoring Pair of Goals in 6 Minutes
By Karl Rasmussen
The Manchester derby was scoreless through 20 minutes of play, but around the midway point of the first half, Manchester United was able to get some offense going. After Marcus Rashford drew a penalty, he was able to connect from the spot to give Ole Gunnar Solskjær's side a 1-0 lead over City.

Clinical work from Rashford from the penalty spot.
Buzzing off their early lead, United struck again just minutes later at the Etihad, with Anthony Martial finishing coolly with his left foot, sneaking the ball between Ederson and the post.

Just like that United is ahead 2-0 in the rivalry clash, a start United fans could only have dreamed to accomplish.
If they can hold onto their lead it'll be back-to-back convincing wins for the Red Devils.
