Manchester United fans hailed the fine work of 'agent Marcus Rashford' once more after his FIFA 20 battle with England colleague Jadon Sancho.

One of the developing narratives during the the suspension of football across Europe has been the blossoming 'bromance' between Rashford and Sancho, and the role United fans believe it will play in luring the Borussia Dortmund man to Old Trafford this summer.

The two England internationals went head-to-head in the opening round of the Football’s Staying Home FIFA tournament on Friday evening, with Sancho snatching a 2-1 victory to book a spot in the next round against Arsenal's Eddie Nketiah.

Manchester United are confident they will win the race for Sancho this summer, and are not put off by Dortmund's £120million valuation.

Chelsea and Liverpool are also monitoring the situation, with Dortmund hopeful of sparking a bidding war. But United are believed to have the edge in the transfer battle, and Rashford is doing that advantage no harm as far as supporters are concerned.

@EasyMoneySnipa6 tweeted: "Agent Rashford is working overtime."

Some even suggested Rashford purposely lost on FIFA to go up in the estimations of his prospective team-mate.

Ishan wrote: "You lost for us Agent Rashford. You are our hero."

Rashford took the lead in the FIFA contest before Sancho equalised, using his own virtual likeness to lay the ball on a plate for Rashford to score.

It was a goal which will have got United fans dreaming of similar combination play next season, and Sancho sent followers into a frenzy with his own summary of the link-up play. “Marcus, always alive in the big games,” he said.
