MANCHESTER, England -- An $800 million cast of global superstars will take the field for the Manchester derby in the English Premier League on Saturday.The game could be decided, though, by two teenage academy graduates whove barely cost City and United a penny.Marcus Rashford of United and Kelechi Iheanacho of City are fearless, free-spirited strikers who provide proof that kids can still break through at top clubs in the worlds most lucrative league. That theyve started the season as the No. 2 strikers for their teams is testament to their ability and the faith being shown in them by their managers.The 18-year-old Rashford is the better known of the pair. Plucked from Uniteds youth team to solve an injury crisis in the first team in February, Rashford scored eight goals in the final months of last season and forced his way into Englands squad for the European Championship.Quick, lithe, direct and with a composure in front of goal, Rashford is proving to be a player for the big occasion. He has scored at least one goal on his senior United debut, his Premier League debut, his England debut and his England under-21 debut. Oh, and he also netted the winner in his first Manchester derby.Rashford is already showing last season was no fluke, coming on as a sub to score Uniteds injury-time winner against Hull before the international break in his first league game this campaign.The kid is going to play lots of matches, for sure, United manager Jose Mourinho said.Iheanacho, 19, has done remarkably well to emerge as Citys second-choice striker considering the caliber and number of attackers who have been at the club in recent seasons.City has been happy to offload Edin Dzeko, Stevan Jovetic and Wilfried Bony over 12 months to give Iheanacho his chance, making him the first player to come through from the clubs $300 million training and player-development center -- the City Football Academy -- since its opening in December 2014.Already a Nigeria international, Iheanacho is quick like Rashford, is technically gifted and has been compared to Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge with his movement and finishing ability.Iheanacho was elevated to the senior squad in the summer of 2015 and scored 14 goals in his breakthrough year last season, including a winner in his second league start and a hat trick in an FA Cup game. He opened his account for this season with a long-range piledriver for Nigeria in its 1-0 win over Tanzania last week.With Sergio Aguero suspended for this weekend, Iheanacho is in line for a start at Old Trafford in what might be the biggest game of his life.Games like this mean a lot, he said, and it doesnt come bigger than a derby.Heres a look at where Rashford and Iheanacho might fit in during the Manchester derby:---MARCUS RASHFORDZlatan Ibrahimovic stands in the way of Rashford with United deploying a 4-2-3-1 formation, but Mourinho said after the teenagers winner against Hull that he could pair them up front.We play now with a second man behind Zlatan, Mourinho said. We can start some matches with a player in front of Zlatan.Alternatively, and more likely, Rashford could start on the wing, potentially on the left in place of Anthony Martial to use his pace against Pablo Zabaleta or Bacary Sagna.Rashford still hasnt started a game under Mourinho, who may decide to keep him in his role as an impact substitute.---KELECHI IHEANACHOThe most straightforward option for City coach Pep Guardiola is to replace the suspended Aguero with Iheanacho and retain the 4-1-4-1 formation City has used in its opening five wins this season.Guardiola could, however, choose to play one of his wingers -- Raheem Sterling or Nolito -- up front. Or theres the option of using David Silva or Kevin De Bruyne as a so-called false nine, basically leaving City without an out-and-out striker and instead flooding the midfield.We try to reduce the unpredictability of the game, Mourinho said. (But) we know they have so many options, so for (my) players is more difficult. It feels a bit of a contradiction, but without Aguero its more difficult.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Denny Hamlin insists he didnt let retiring NASCAR star Tony Stewart win last week at Sonoma Raceway.Asked about his runner-up finish at Daytona International Speedway on Thursday, Hamlin made it clear that his mistake was the main reason Stewart got by him in the final turn Sunday.Stewart passed Hamlin on the inside going into tricky Turn 11 and held on to break an 84-race winless streak.I made a mistake and didnt execute good, Hamlin said. Ultimately, I made a mistake and thought we would maybe drag race to the line because we were in the center of the corner side by side and I thought this could be good. Once I saw him steer left, I knew it was over with.My biggest mistake I feel like is not recognizing the gap I had behind me. ... I still needed to execute to make him make the decision. Instead I made the decision for him.Hamlin took the lead from Stewart in the seventh turn on the road course. But he locked up the wheels and got wide four turns later, and Stewart took advantage.The last-lap pass had some questioning whether Hamlin intentionally allowed Stewart to get a much-needed victory in his final season, a win that likely will allow the three-time NASCAR champion to compete for another Sprint Cup title.In my defense, which I should still not make mistakes, is that Ive never been in that position before, Hamlin said.Ive not been that competitive on road courses and so I didnt know the proper defensive move going into that last corner. Id love to have tthat situation back again, but I really just didnt know the proper move.ddddddddddddHamlin, who used to be teammates with Stewart at Joe Gibbs Racing, congratulated Stewart on the track and again in victory lane. He later apologized to his team.Despite the late slip-up, Hamlin said his best road-course finish gives him confidence going forward at those tracks.When I go back to road courses I know that I can win these races, he said. And really, going into Sonoma, I didnt go there with a whole lot of aspirations of winning that race. I just havent been that great on them. Ive always struggled for speed.Its not been because of my cars -- its been because of me -- but now I feel like completely the cycle is possible and Ill get it before my career is over for sure.Hamlin picked up the biggest victory of his career in February, winning the season-opening Daytona 500. Now, hes trying to become the sixth driver to sweep both races at Daytona in the same season.Hamlin edged Martin Truex Jr. in the closest finish in Daytona 500 history.Its definitely been a good year no matter what when you win a race like that, Hamlin said.But its cool to come back here. ... Youre back in victory lane where you were and definitely brings back some good memories for sure. Really this track has been very good to me throughout my career. We hope to complete the sweep this weekend. ' ' '
