Manchester United fans go wild as Marcus Rashford reunites with Jesse Lingard in new Instagram snap

Marcus Rashford, 25, has made an appearance in an Instagram post uploaded by a former Manchester United fan favourite. Fans of the two stars have been going wild in the comments section.

Jesse Lingard, 30, uploaded the snap of himself and the United winger to Instagram on Monday 15 May. Lingard, now of Nottingham Forest, played alongside Rashford between 2015-2022. The versatile attacking midfielder quickly became a favourite amongst fans.

The snap shows the duo posing whilst rocking vibrant designer clothing. Jesse captioned the post: “They don’t get it coz they don’t get it 🙆🏽‍♂️”

It’s clear Lingard captured the hearts of United supporters during his seven year tenure, as loyal supporters exploded in the comments. One user wrote: “You cannot just casually drop a pic of you and Marcus and expect me to be okay.” Another user added: “My duo innit🔥❤️”. A third said: “I CAN SEE UNCLE RASHY🔥🙌👏”.

The two have always been known to be good friends off the pitch. After Lingard’s departure from the club, he returned to Old Trafford with his new side in what was a 3-0 victory for the Red Devils. As well as receiving a warm welcome from the fans, Jesse featured in a touching Instagram post from Rashford, captioned: “More than just a friend, good to see you bro”.

During their time together at United, Rashford and Lingard went on holiday together to Miami. Perhaps their most memorable moment off the pitch came during the 2018 World Cup, when they both represented the three lions. In a joint interview for England’s Lion’s Den, Lingard had a hilarious reaction to Rashford remembering the time he spoke with a world class footballer.

Marcus Rashford revealed he discussed the weather with Brazilian superstar, Neymar, in the tunnel at Wembley. Upon finding out, Lingard exclaimed: “Do not even - no no no no no. The weather? The weather? The weather?” To which Rashford defensively replied: “Yeah?”

Lingard then mocked the United winger, saying: “You alright Neymar? Yeah sunny innit?” This quote has since become an iconic inside joke among English football fans.
