Man Utd fans love what Rashford did to Mbappe after PSG win

Rashford scored United's winner in Paris as they fought back to reach the last eight of the Champions League

Marcus Rashford was Manchester United's hero as they stunned PSG in the Champions League.

United had a mountain to climb in the last-16 encounter as they travelled to the French capital without 10 players, trailing 2-0.

But Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's players delivered an incredible performance as Romelu Lukaku scored twice before Rashford's last-gasp penalty.

The win sparked wild scenes on and off the pitch but Rashford showed his humility as he consoled PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe.

The pair had been compared in recent months but it was Mbappe who appeared to have the edge after the first leg at Old Trafford.

But Rashford grabbed the headlines in Paris as United ensured another memorable European night.

Unsurprisingly, United fans were loving the sportsmanship of their 21-year-old striker.

Romelu Lukaku was also seen consoling PSG defender Presnel Kimpembe at the final whistle.

The Frenchman was adjudged to have handled Diogo Dalot's late strike for the penalty award and was seen in tears at full-time.

But while his teammates were heading over to the travelling United support, Lukaku hugged Kimpembe and attempted to lift his spirits.

Lukaku also revealed after the encounter what he told Rashford before the late penalty.

United's No.9 was on a hat-trick, as he was against Southampton on Saturday, but was happy for his strike partner to step up and score.

"I was happy that he scored. He came to me and wanted to shoot," Lukaku told beIN Sport.

"I said 'man, this is your time. Do it for yourself and us'."

Coronavirus: 'The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing'

"The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing," says Andrew O'Dwyer, who is recovering after being infected with the new coronavirus following a skiing trip to Italy in late February. "I've had worse flu, without a doubt - but I wouldn't want to catch it again," he says during his self-isolation at home in south-west London. Despite having type 1 diabetes, Andrew says having the virus "isn't anything to worry about for me personally". He adds that the fever he experienced is "no different to normal flu-type symptoms". "I've not been concerned," he says. The severity of symptoms can vary widely among people. Those who are older and have pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) are more likely to become severely ill and can need hospital treatment. There have been 10 coronavirus-related deaths so far in the UK. Andrew was told the virus wasn't circulating in the resort ...

THE MASCARENE PARROT

The Mascarene parrot was 35 cm (14 in) in length with a large red bill and long, rounded tail feathers. Its legs were red, and it had naked red skin around the eyes and nostrils. It had a black facial mask and partially white tail feathers, but the colouration of the body, wings and head is unclear. Descriptions from life indicate the body and head were ash grey, and the white part of the tail had two dark central feathers. In contrast, descriptions based on stuffed specimens state that the body was brown and the head bluish but do not mention the dark central tail feathers. This may be due to the specimens having changed colour as a result of aging and exposure to light, as well as other forms of damage. Very little is known about the bird in life. The Mascarene parrot was first mentioned in 1674, and live specimens were later brought to Europe, where they lived in captivity . The species was scientifically described in 1771. Only two stuffed specimens exist today, in Paris and Vienn...
