Manchester United vs Derby County 6 January 2018 Old Trafford Full-time 2-0 A superb 84th-minute strike from the in-form Jesse Lingard and a second from Romelu Lukaku finally saw Manchester United beat a stubborn Derby County at Old Trafford. Marcus Rashford, brought off late on, must be wondering how he failed to find the target with two efforts that came back of the woodwork as well as others he would have expected to have done better with. Paul Pogba similarly was found wanting with his finishing although could only admire a magnificent save by Carson from a first-half free kick. Lukaku, back on the bench after his head collision against Southampton replaced the totally ineffective Henrikh Mkhitaryan whose Old Trafford days must now surely be over. Lingard may have his critics at times - me amongst them - but no-one can fault his recent performances and he is now an absolute must in Mourinho's starting eleven. Lukaku's 90th-minute clincher gave a little extra gloss to the scoreline, enabling Jose a chance to assess his approach to the rest of the campaign with no game until Monday week.
