No coming back from that, mate

Can we please have a moment of silence for Brazilian international Fred, who has been absolutely murdered by Marcus Rashford.

Rashford shared a clip on Instagram of the Manchester United players warming up, presumably from Friday’s 3-1 FA Cup victory over Arsenal.

It all looked friendly until the England youngster absolutely destroys Fred with a brutal nutmeg.

Even former United forward Memphis Depay got in on the action and roasted Fred.

Alexis Sanchez opened the scoring for Manchester United on Friday evening, after a lovely through ball from Romelu Lukaku sliced open the Arsenal defence and the Chilean slotted home from just outside the six-yard box.

Jesse Lingard doubled their lead just two minutes later, after a United counterattack.

Arsenal made things nervous for the visitors however when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang pulled one back for Unai Emery’s side before half time, following great work from Aaron Ramsey.

It was not enough for the Londoners however, as Anthony Martial scored a third for United late on and secured the win.

The result extended Manchester United’s unbeaten run to eight games following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s appointment.
