'Outstanding!' - Manchester United fans rave about Marcus Rashford goal vs Sheriff

Marcus Rashford stepped off the bench to score Manchester United's second goal in their Europa League clash with Sheriff Tiraspol at Old Trafford on Thursday evening.

The England international, who was dropped to the bench after starting the weekend's draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, came on at half time to replace Antony. He connected with fellow substitute Luke Shaw's expert delivery at the end of a nice passage of play, directing a brilliant header past Maksym Koval.

It was an excellent finish from Rashford, who used the pace on the ball from Shaw's cross to direct his header into the Stretford End goal. It marked his sixth goal of the season, meaning he has already surpassed last term's tally of five, and his third in the Europa League this term.
