Man Utd fans are furious with Marcus Rashford after spotting a moment in the closing stages of their 2-1 win over Luton Town.
Two goals from Rasmus Hojlund in the opening seven minutes were enough to see United move within five points of Aston Villa in fourth.
Erik ten Hag's side were made to work for their victory, with Carlton Morris halving the deficit in the 14th minute.

Luton dominated the first half and a raucous Kenilworth Road crowd made things tough for United.
Some players put in maximum effort until the final whistle blew, although a clip of Rashford late in the game has gone viral.
In the 85th minute, the 26-year-old allowed Ross Barkley to dribble away from him.

Barkley, who has enjoyed a career resurgence since returning to the Premier League last summer, glided past Rashford, who lightly jogged after his opponent.
Rashford, Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho pressed Luton's backline relentlessly in the game and it's how Hojlund managed to grab his first goal.
Despite that, the United faithful on X decided to let rip on Rashford for a 'lack of effort'.

"One person said: "If it wasn’t so serious, it would be funny. The state of that."
A second put: "I saw this during the game and decided I'm done with him."
Someone posted: "If PSG want him, they can take him."
While another added: "Lol this has to be a joke."

United have now won five games on the bounce for the first time since January 2023 as they look to qualify for next season's Champions League.
Hojlund's coming into form at the right time and he's the youngest player in Premier League history to score in six consecutive games.

The 21-year-old told United's official website: "I play for probably one of the biggest clubs in the world, so it's quality players I train and play with every day, especially the guys I have around me. I'm very happy for them.
“I just want to keep playing with them and get even better. Hopefully they can also get better, and we can be and we can grow together.”
United return to action against Fulham on Saturday.
