Marouane Fellaini rushed to the aid of a supporter who was crushed against the advertising board during the celebrations of Marcus Rashford’s late winning goal against Hull City at the KCom Stadium on Saturday.

Rashford’s dramatic strike prompted a number of away supporters to surge towards the jubilant United players but Fellaini quickly noticed that a woman, who was clearly in distress, had been caught up in the melee and he broke off from the celebrations with his team-mates.

The Belgian midfielder, who had earlier picked up a back injury in the victory that maintains United’s 100% start to the season under Mourinho, swiftly alerted nearby stewards to the issue before reaching into the crowd to help her avoid further harm.

Footage captured by a supporter in the stadium shows the woman being pulled from the scrum of Manchester United fans before regaining her feet near the pitch while other supporters flooded the pitch – something that will no doubt be of concern for the Football Association.
