Red Marcus feels simply fan-tastic
MARCUS Rashford said he intends to celebrate all of his goals with United ‘s travelling fans after his 93rd-minute matchwinner at Hull.
Rashford was superb on his first Premier League performance of the season at the KC Stadium, and tapped in the belated winner to spark euphoric scenes in the away section.
The 18-year-old boyhood Red was delighted to celebrate with United’s vociferous away support, which was housed in the nearby corner.
“Being one of them, of course when I score a goal it’s important I celebrate with the fans and they’re always with us and we’re always with them,” Rashford told MUTV.
“It’s amazing to score in a last minute like that but the whole team grafted for 90 minutes and it’s what we deserved.”
Rashford was also grateful for Wayne Rooney’s assist.
The United captain, who generated plenty of criticism during the game, bypassed David Meyler to cross for Rashford’s winner.
“Definitely,” Rashford replied when asked if Rooney deserved credit. “As I’ve seen it developing it was an amazing run, so I had to get myself in the box and all his hard work paid off.”
It wasn’t all good news for United with Marouane Fellaini facing up to a month on the sidelines after picking up a back muscle injury against Hull.
The midfielder will still meet up with his international colleagues for their World Cup qualifier but it is likely he’ll be sent back to Manchester for treatment after reporting with Belgium this week.
