Marcus Rashford’s goal celebration for Manchester United has been explained

What a debut

Robert Redmond

Marcus Rashford rushed straight to his friend upon scoring for Manchester United.

The 18-year-old only started the game because Anthony Martial injured himself in the warm-up prior to United’s Europa League tie against FC Midtjylland, and upon scoring made a beeline to the section of Old Trafford crowd where players’ friends and family members sit.

Rashford, who scored twice in United’s 5-1 win over the Danish side, was embraced by Dean Henderson, a United youth team goalkeeper, who was on the bench for the first-team just days before for the FA Cup tie against Shrewsbury.

Henderson posted a video of the moment on his Instagram page.

Go on Marcus lad!!❤️⚽️
