Marcus Rashford sent a short message out on Instagram celebrating the ‘important win’ as United made it two victories from the past three league games.
He was deluged with responses, including one from former Manchester United teammate Jesse Lingard, who hailed Rashford as ‘different gravy’
Rashford was praised on MUTV by former United trainee Danny Simpson, who said: “He’s added everything to his game. He looks looks so powerful now when he’s going up for headers.
“Them two [Shaw and Rashford] have been combining really well together and it was a great goal.”
