Fans have spotted exactly who Rasmus Hojlund appeared to shove during the celebrations of Bruno Fernandes’ winning goal against Rangers in the Europa League on Thursday evening.
United were seemingly heading for a disappointing 1-1 draw after Cyriel Dessers scored for the SPL side with just two minutes left.
However, Fernandes, 30, spared his side’s blushes with a sumptuous volley to hand United all three points in second-half stoppage time.

The United captain then celebrated with the overjoyed Red Devils fans gathered inside Old Trafford before bumping into a Rangers staff member.
Rangers’ kitman David MacGregor had been heading for the tunnel after the Portuguese scored but collided with the midfielder as he looked to evade United’s celebrations.
Hojlund, 21, then raised his arms before appearing to shove the staff member aside before continuing to join in with his team’s celebrations.
MacGregor did not react and continued to walk away from the incident.
Fans were quick to give their thoughts on the incident in the comments section of the video which you can watch below.
One fan said: "That guy who came to stop Bruno celebrating. Most accurate Rasmus has been in months pushing him out the way."
A second added: "Hojlund “MOVE MAN”
While a third asked: "Who was the guy on the track in black that body checked Fernandes after he scored?"
Another questioned: "Who was that who tried to walk into Bruno and Hojlund and they both shoved him away?"
As a fifth quipped: "Who’s that random geeza tryna push his way through?"
United's victory sees them go fourth in the 36-team Europa League group phase ahead of their trip to Romania where they will face FCSB (Steaua București) on Thursday 30 January.
A victory would cement a top-eight spot, while a draw could still see them gain automatic qualification for the round of 16, depending on results elsewhere.
Meanwhile, Rangers are 13th but have still done enough to secure a play-off place at the least ahead of their final match against Union Saint-Gilloise at Ibrox next week. According to UEFA, 14 teams - Anderlecht, Athletic Club, AZ Alkmaar, Bodø/Glimt, Eintracht Frankfurt, FCSB, Galatasaray, Lyon, Manchester United, Olympiacos, Rangers, Tottenham, Union SG, Viktoria Plzeň - have secured at least a play-off place in the competition.
