MARCUS RASHFORD is set to be rewarded for his hat-trick heroics with a first-team spot in the Manchester derby.

Jose Mourinho is likely to deploy the youngster down the flanks in a bid to unsettle Manchester City's passing rhythm.

Rashford - who bagged three for the England Under-21s - came off the bench to score the winner in United's last league win over Hull.

The prodigy burst onto the scene last season and became the youngest ever goalscorer in a Manchester derby when he netted a brilliant winner at the Etihad.

Tomorrow's game is set to be the most expensive football match ever after both teams splurged this summer.

Guardiola will be without star striker Sergio Aguero but can call on new signing Claudio Bravo in goal.
