"Stay strong, we love you," said United striker Rashford.

The youngster added on Instagram: "Sir Bobby, you are my hero and I am devastated that you are having to go through this.

"I filmed alongside this man as a child and was in awe. I still am when I see you. This man, from day one, was everything I wanted to be. Kind, professional, caring, talented."
