Lingard And Rashford Visit Injured Pop Fans

Manchester United duo Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard followed in the footsteps of Ariana Grande when they went to meet some of the pop superstar's young fans in hospital.

The two players went to Manchester Children's Hospital on Monday and spent time with some of the youngsters who were injured in the terror attack following Grande's recent concert at the city's Arena. The Reds pair, who could both play for England this weekend, handed out signed United shirts and posed for pictures with the young patients.

Lingard, who shared four photos from the hospital visit on his Instagram account, commented: "It's been a good day visiting the children who were recently affected in the Manchester incident. Words can't describe how brave these children are. I wish them all a speedy recovery and to come back stronger. #acityunited #onelovemanchester."

Also on Instagram, Rashford posted a picture of a young fan 'dabbing' with Lingard and said in the caption: "It was good spending the day on the children's ward with some of the children injured during the recent events in Manchester. #onelovemanchester."

On Sunday, Lingard posted an image from the special concert at Old Trafford cricket ground, which raised millions of pounds for people affected by the Arena atrocity. He later wrote: "I was honoured to be a part of the One Love Manchester charity concert. It's great to see a number of faces show up to show their love and support as we are a city united. Everybody came together and made it a night to remember."

Following the attack on 22 May, United joined forces with Manchester City to donate £1million to the Manchester Emergency Fund while Jose Mourinho and players including Ander Herrera and Juan Mata dedicated their victory in the UEFA Europa League final to the victims and their families.
