Fans convinced Rashford’s winner vs Brentford should NOT have counted – but here’s why it was allowed
FANS are convinced that Marcus Rashford's goal against Brentford should have been RULED OUT.
Rashford scored the only goal of the game as Manchester United beat the Bees at Old Trafford.
However, there are claims that the goal should not count as the Red Devils star was offside.
Rashford was in an offside position when Antony played a cross into the box and appearing not to interfere with the play.
But he had made his way back onside to latch on to Marcel Sabitzer's knockdown and fire home.
And fans are convinced that Rashford gained an unfair advantage by benefitting from being offside.

A third wrote: "Offside stops at Old Trafford lol."
A fourth said: "The defenders won’t be near him because he’s offside."

While a fifth added: "This was just before Rashford scores for Manchester Utd against Brentford. Is he not actively involved in play when he takes his shot seconds later and therefore offside?
"In other words, if he wasn't in this position to begin with he wouldn't have scored?"
"But now they allow the play to go on and he clearly does not get involved with play. He does not effect the goalkeeper and there are no defenders around him.
"The ball is played to Sabitzer and when it is, Rashford is back onside. I think it is good as we want to see goals."
