MANCHESTER UNITED fans were loving Ruud van Nistelrooy's reaction to Marcus Rashford's goal against Southampton.
Rashford, 26, scored his first Premier League goal of the season against Southampton.
The forward moved the ball to his right foot before bending a shot into the far corner beyond the outstretched arms of Saints goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
It was his first league goal since March 9 against Everton, 189 days ago, and his first in all competitions since March 17 against Liverpool in the FA Cup.
SunSport exclusively revealed how Rashford was taking extra training sessions with Van Nistelrooy in a bid to end his goal drought.
And after scoring against Southampton, Van Nistelrooy was seen holding his arms in the air to celebrate the goal.
Fans were loving the scenes from St Mary's stadium and rushed to social media to share their thoughts.
One fan said: "Van Nistelrooy, a United legend himself, clearly sees a kindred spirit in Rashford. His reaction speaks volumes about the talent and potential he sees in the young Englishman."
A second said: "Genuinely happy for Rashford, RVN having an impact."
Another said: "He looked so proud of him."
A fourth added: "He was every Marcus Rashford fan."
Rashford's strike came just minutes after Matthijs de Ligt headed home the opener, which itself came moments after Andre Onana dramatically saved a penalty from Cameron Archer.
