Sir Alex Ferguson's reaction to Anthony Martial's goal for Manchester United vs Man City

Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson was pictured with a brilliant reaction to Anthony Martial's goal against Manchester City, which put the visitors 2-0 up.

Marcus Rashford opened the scoring at the Etihad Stadium following a VAR decision to award a penalty and Martial doubled United 's advantage just six minutes later.

Those efforts put Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side in a solid position to take all three points from their clash, which would put the club within touching distance of fourth-placed Chelsea.

As fans took to social media to celebrate the goal, many identified Ferguson's reaction to the goal - as he was pictured with a beaming smile on his face after Martial drilled an effort beyond the reach of Ederson.

Victory for United against City would cap off a superb few days for the club, following on from the midweek victory against Tottenham Hotspur - where Jose Mourinho made his return to Old Trafford.

The two goals against City also continued an impressive scoring record for Solskjaer's side, as United have now scored at least two goals in eight of their last ten matches in all competitions.
