Belgian midfielder helps pull away a woman who was getting crushed as fans rushed forward to celebrate Marcus Rashford winner
MAROUANE FELLAINI helped a woman from being crushed as Manchester United fans raucously cheered Marcus Rashford's winner at Hull.
The injury time winner saw surge forward and spill over onto the pitch after an advertising hoarding at the KC stadium collapsed.
During the celebrations Fellaini, who has been hugely impressive under new manager Jose Mourinho, spotted a woman in anguish.
Rather than celebrate with the rest of his team-mates he quickly broke away to grab the woman and make stewards aware of the situation.
She was quickly grabbed out of the scrum by fellow fans and helped to her feet on the side of the pitch by stewards.
The Football Association could move to punish Manchester United for the actions of their fans, with pitch invasions severely frowned upon.
Rashford's 92nd minute goal saw Mourinho continue his 100 per cent start to life as Manchester United manager.
The late winner means that United have collected nine points from a possible nine.
