Marcus Rashford sends message to Manchester United teammate Bruno Fernandes after Bournemouth win

Marcus Rashford sent a message of gratitude to Manchester United teammate Bruno Fernandes following the Reds' victory over Bournemouth in the Premier League.

Casemiro opened the scoring for Erik ten Hag's side in the comfortable 3-0 victory over the Cherries on Tuesday night, before Luke Shaw doubled the home side's lead early on in the second half.

England international Rashford made it 3-0 in the 86th minute, however, Anthony Martial was forced off with 20 minutes left in the match, having previously received medical treatment during the game.

Despite the Frenchman heading straight down the Old Trafford tunnel after he was withdrawn from the game, the club eased concerns over a fresh injury for the player.

Meanwhile, Rashford registered his 12th goal in all competitions so far this season - and the 25-year-old was keen to praise his teammate Fernandes after the clash.

"Thanks for the assistance my bro," Rashford wrote on his Instagram story.

Rashford was dropped to the bench for the victory over Wolves at the weekend, but the attacker came off the bench to score the only goal of the match. He was named among the substitutes because he overslept and missed a team meeting.

However, he was recalled to the starting line-up for the win over Gary O'Neil's side and grabbed his seventh Premier League goal in just 12 appearances. Meanwhile, Fernandes registered his fifth assist of the campaign with a lovely lay-off for Rashford.

The Reds face off against Everton in their next match, with the Toffees arriving at Old Trafford for an FA Cup third-round match.
