Marcus Rashford rushed straight to his friend upon scoring for Manchester United.

The 18-year-old only started the game because Anthony Martial injured himself in the warm-up prior to United's Europa League tie against FC Midtjylland, and upon scoring made a beeline to the section of Old Trafford crowd where players' friends and family members sit. Rashford, who scored twice in United's 5-1 win over the Danish side, was embraced by Dean Henderson, a United youth team goalkeeper, who was on the bench for the first-team just days before for the FA Cup tie against Shrewsbury. Henderson posted a video of the moment on his Instagram page.

Go on Marcus lad!!❤️⚽️
