Man United fans in love with Rashford

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Manchester United fans could not help but admire Marcus Rashford’s reaction to his side conceding the first goal against West Ham in the FA Cup on Wednesday, March 1.

United had to come from a goal down to claim a 3-1 win over the Hammers, who are also struggling in the Premier League.

David Moyes’ side took the lead through Said Benrahma in the 54th minute, but they were pegged back as Nayef Aguerd scored an own goal after being put under pressure from Wout Weghorst.

An interesting photo has emerged online showing Rashford asking Anthony Elanga for his shirt as he prepared to come on for his side, who were trailing at the time.
