Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford celebrated this year’s ‘Mother's Day' in an unusual after giving his mother the man of the match award he won on Saturday, March 10.
The 20-year-old forward scored two superb goals to lift the Red Devils above their arch rivals, Liverpool at Old Trafford – a win that put them four points clear of the Anfield Stadium outfit.
While others were buying chocolates and flowers for their moms, the youngster took to Instagram to express his love for his mother, Melanie, as he uploaded the picture of the two of them as a gesture of affection.

The two goals hero in last Saturday’s EPL crunch encounter said this while presenting the award to his mom: "Thank you for all you do. Happy Mother’s Day Mum, perfect present!"
Rashford gave Jose Mourinho’s side the lead in the 14th minute of the encounter after benefiting from a Romelu Lukaku’s assist and beautifully placed it in the right angle of the post.
Ten minutes after, the England international ran into a loose ball to double his side’s lead in the 24th minute before he was substituted for Marouane Fellaini in the 70th minute.
Prior to his brace over the weekend, the former England youth player had gone without scoring a goal since December.
