Marcus Rashford has shared an incredible story about his former Manchester United teammate Romelu Lukaku following the Champions League draw.

United have been grouped with last season's Champions League finalist Paris Saint-Germain in this campaign's group stage.

They last faced each other in March 2019 when the Premier League side secured a dramatic come-from-behind victory in Paris.

Trailing from the first-leg, United beat PSG 3-1 with Rashford scoring a 94th minute penalty.

And after Thursday's Champions League group stage draw, Rashford told a story about Lukaku regarding that spot-kick.

On Twitter, he wrote: "Let me tell you a little story about @RomeluLukaku9.

"We are playing PSG in the second leg of the Champions League, with little little hope of qualifying. 2-0 down on agg.

"2 mins in, Rom scores. 30 mins in, Rom scores. We need one more goal to qualify. 94th min - penalty..."

In another tweet, he added: "Rom steps up picks up the ball and hands it to me. He knew this was my moment.

"He knew it would be me that got all news coverage for scoring that penalty and he was ok with that, ignoring the fact that he was the most instrumental part of that win."

He continued: "That tells you all you need to know about @RomeluLukaku9 Selfless, a team player... Never afraid to dim his light for others to shine. That's my brother and I appreciate him."

Lukaku replied: "My brother for life! What a great moment brother one of the best nights in my career!

"Like we said before the game we were going to qualify the team! My partner."

United will face PSG, RB Leipzig and Istanbul Basaksehir in the Champions League group stage round.
