Marcus Rashford showed maturity beyond his tender years during Manchester United's Carabao Cup win at Swansea.

The 19-year-old was again impressive as the Red Devils recorded a 2-0 victory to book their place in the quarter-finals of the competition in South Wales.

Jesse Lingard struck twice for Jose Mourinho's side to seal their progression, but it was after his first goal that Rashford's gesture to teammate Victor Lindelof caught the eye.

Lindelof has struggled since arriving at Old Trafford, failing to make a Premier League start, but did come on as a substitute during Saturday's defeat at Huddersfield.

He was introduced when Phil Jones limped off in the first half, but he was at fault for the second goal leaving fans questioning whether he is worth his price tag.

But he produced a solid display against Swansea, playing all 90 minutes and helping United keep a clean sheet.

After Lingard made it 1-0, Rashford went up to Lindelof and put his arm around him, offering him advice and reassurance as the players made their way back to the halfway line.

Mourinho said afer the game: "The kids are always the kids so when they play it is nice, it is good, when they perform well it is even better.

"I think they both had good performances especially Scott, who has a big influence in the game in a crucial area.

"I decided to play with three because Victor was not coming with his confidence levels very, very high, so I decided to play both with the experience of Smalling and we were OK. It was good for the players to get confidence."
