Marcus Rashford sends sighs of relief gusting out of Manchester United fans’ mouths

They left it late.

Manchester United needed 29 shots to get past the almost impenetrable Hull defence on Saturday evening. The late kick-off bore more than a slight resemblance to United's infamous 2-2 draw with Fulham in 2014, under David Moyes, when the Red Devils fired over 80 crosses into the box. https://twitter.com/Squawka/status/769602860623552512 It was wave after wave of United attack, with big name signings Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba going close on several occasions. But it was a homegrown lad who came up with the goods as 18-year-old Marcus Rashford came off the bench to ensure Jose Mourinho would leave Yorkshire with three points, rather than frustration. And as the squared ball was belted home by the youngster, United fans the world over allowed themselves a relieved sigh. https://twitter.com/NangGriff/status/769600397568651264 https://twitter.com/Carlitosss_22/status/769600397564448768 https://twitter.com/ZzDavy/status/769600397593997314 https://twitter.com/Mueed_Khan_1/status/769600397778583553 https://twitter.com/bspillare/status/769600398428631040 https://twitter.com/mario_mar_/status/769600398998941697 https://twitter.com/ayeneary/status/769600399057838080 https://twitter.com/DavisVasky/status/769600399275921408 https://twitter.com/KJeremiahN/status/769600399309434880 https://twitter.com/nikola_username/status/769600399649177600 https://twitter.com/Fremont_29/status/769600399774846976 https://twitter.com/ZhareefAimullah/status/769600399825174528 https://twitter.com/_DanielRonaldo_/status/769600399980453888 https://twitter.com/Muayyad_K/status/769600400542412800 https://twitter.com/IbraTheHero/status/769601331820654593 https://twitter.com/WilliamSeesmore/status/769600696052174848 Massive Dublin v Kerry preview in the latest GAA Hour.
