What did they steal? A £22,000 Rolex from Rashford‘s brother, a wallet, and a £70,000 Range Rover from Alexander-Arnold’s brother. A group of five friends having breakfast at a cafe was attacked. Interestingly, a statement reported by Liverpool Echo suggests that the court heard three masked men with a shotgun and a baseball bat carry out a robbery at Little Rick cafe in Manchester on January 12, 2019.

“In their greed, they showed utter disregard for the impact on their targeted victims. And other customers and staff in the cafe, who genuinely feared for their lives. They were not afraid to use violence to get what they wanted.“

“We worked closely with the police to build a strong case against them. Including DNA and CCTV evidence, which we presented to the jury. After careful consideration of this evidence the jury found all three men guilty of all the offences they faced.“

Marcus Rashford equals Wayne Rooney’s record for Manchester United

Man United forward Marcus Rashford scored a brace against Charlton in a Carabao Cup match to extend his home scoring streak. More importantly, Rashford became the first player since Wayne Rooney in 2010 to score eight home games in a row.

Certainly, Rashford’s brace against Charlton handed Manchester United a 3-0 win sealing them a spot in the Carabao Cup semi-final. Currently, the England international is in red-hot form. He has scored 15 times for his team in all competitions this season.

Rashford would look to carry his form with the Manchester derby on cards. Interestingly, United can cause a huge dent to the Premier League title contenders Manchester City in their upcoming fixture.
