Manchester United fans are all saying the same thing after watching Danny Welbeck copy Marcus Rashford's celebration after scoring for Brighton.

Welbeck was part of Brighton's squad that hammered Liverpool 3-0 in an epic Premier League clash at the AMEX Stadium on Saturday, January 14.

Solly March was the man of the moment for the Seagulls as he netted a brace in the 47th and 53rd minutes to give the hosts an edge over Jurgen Klopp's charges.

The Sun reports that the English forward pulled off Marcus Rashford's celebration after scoring, with the ex-Man United ace pointing to his head, in the same way, Rashford did against Man City earlier in the day.

Man United fans in love with Welbeck

Man United fans could not hide their delight at seeing Welbeck copy Rashford's signature celebration, with one saying:

One posted:

"Once a red, forever a red."

A second said:

"Danny Welbeck has scored against Liverpool and used the Rashford celebration, what a day."

A third observed:

"Using the same celebration after humiliating Manchester United's arch-rivals…"

Another added:

"Welbeck scored against our biggest rivals and did the Rashford celebration."

Rashford's new celebration

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Marcus Rashford has been the main talking point, after football resumed across Europe's top five leagues after the World Cup break.

The Manchester United star has hit top form under Erik ten Hag, scoring seven goals in his past six matches and launching a new celebration while at it.

Rashford has seemingly debuted a new celebration and made it popular after scoring his recent goals.

The England international always races off to one corner flag as he rotates his finger near his head. He then usually stops and points to his head, sometimes with his eyes closed, with barely any emotion on his face.
