Unseen moment Man Utd star shoves Rangers staff member in pitchside confrontation

Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund shoved a Rangers staff member in an unseen moment during the Europa League contest at Old Trafford.

The United number nine was caught on camera pushing a Rangers staffer to the side during celebrations after Bruno Fernandes' lashed home a winner in Manchester.

The hosts had gone ahead in the league phase match through a Jack Butland own goal as the keeper badly misjudged the flight of the ball and punched it into his own net.

Philippe Clement's side stayed in the game, though, and were rewarded as Cyriel Dessers found the net with a ridiculous finish as he overpowered Harry Maguire then took a touch on the spin before narrowing into the bottom corner.

Parity would only be restored for five minutes, however, with Fernandes firing home from a Lisandro Martinez cross to ensure Man Utd took all three points.

The United captain then reached to celebrate with supporters inside the stadium - where he and a Rangers member of staff bumped into each other.

Rangers assistant kitman David MacGregor had been heading for the tunnel after Fernandes scored but ended up colliding with the midfielder as he looked to walk past celebrations.

The Portugal internationalist did not look pleased over the coming together as he stared down MacGregor. Hojlund then raised his arm to shove MacGregor back from the jubilant United celebrations.

The striker shoved MacGregor and then waved his arm in his direction in frustration over the incident.

The Rangers staff member did not react as he simply then walked round Fernandes, Hojlund and the other United players to head up the tunnel.
