Fellaini’s actions assured no injury was inflicted on the woman wearing a bright pink hoodie, however the same can not be said of other United supporters who celebrated wildly at Rashford’s goal, with at least one fan hospitalized following a leg break during the frenzy.

But the terrifying moment was captured on camera by a supporter at the game and you can see fans in some trouble as fans pile forwards.
“I’m relishing coming to Hull”.
“It’s wonderful when I look to my side and I see the people on the bench suffering with us and then jumping for the goal”.
Despite those problems, Phelan led the club to wins over Leicester City and Swansea City in their opening two league fixtures, but the former United assistant knows he must add fresh blood to his squad before their next game at Burnley on September 10.
Rashford and fellow substitute Henrikh Mkhitaryan gave United something different when they come on as substitutes, offering pace and direct running.
“We know matches like that can help us win championships”.
“The team played very well, created a lot of chances”, Conte said. We have to play to win every game and the mentality is there, the boys are giving everything.
“I was telling them at half-time that on Wednesday on the training ground they were most intense than on the pitch in the first half today”, he explained. ‘He has the flawless head for an 18-year-old, very stable, not in the moon, so I think he has everything, ‘ said the United manager.
Despite having an injury-hit squad, caretaker manager Mike Phelan, who spent 14 years as part of Alex Ferguson’s backroom staff at United, has already picked up two league wins this term.
“We need a squad, certainly to get you through to January anyway”.
“To be honest, towards the end I thought it wasn’t going to be our day”, he said. We must not be happy with less than a win. This is a game that had to be cancelled in November past year but luckily we can play it now.
He said: “The players have shown a togetherness and grouped themselves together really well through all the adversity they’ve been through”.
