Fred's wife, Monique brought Benjamin with her for the Leicester clash and sat in the VIP box behind the Red Devils fans.

As soon as Rashford scored the goal, Fred's son celebrated by jumping and down with the fans turning around and cheering him on.

Ten Hag's side are in a good place, with many pundits placing them directly in the title race alongside crosstown rivals, Manchester City and league leaders, Arsenal.

The Gunners are currently on 54 points, two ahead of the defending champions with United next on 49 points.

They face Barcelona in the second leg of the Europa League play-off on Thursday before facing Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.

Sancho, Bissaka impress fans

Sports Brief also reported that Jadon Sancho has continued to impress since his enforced break as ten Hag's Man United continue to silence critics.

Sancho came off the bench to score his second goal in four games as United recorded an emphatic 3-0 victory over Leicester City on February 19.

Rashford scored the first two goals after David De Gea had kept the Red Devils in the game with a string of wonderful stops to deny the visitors.
