MARCUS RASHFORD delivered a hilarious blast to pal Jesse Lingard during a lengthy double substitution.
Lingard took his merry old time walking off the pitch as he was hauled off by Jose Mourinho for Marouane Fellaini.
Patiently waiting behind the big-haired Belgian was Rashford, who appeared to be missing the Dubai heat of a few days before.
The 20-year-old looked seriously frosty while he gestured and grinned ironically in the direction of his wingman to hurry up, so that he could get his body moving on the pitch.
Then when it became Rashford’s turn to enter the fray as he replaced scorer Anthony Martial, the Englishman sprinted on to the pitch with serious enthusiasm.
Rashford came straight on and almost created a good chance with his first couple of touches, but United would not score a fourth during his time on the pitch.
But the Lancashire chill was clearly an issue for Rashford, who appeared to be longing for the desert heat of Dubai, where United had spent five days on a warm-weather training camp.
The bromantic pair spent their free time together in the emirate city and one hilarious social media video emerged of the youngster mocking Lingard, 25, for being on Snapchat and Instagram all the time.

The Red Devils went on to comfortably beat the Potters though, thanks to first-half goals from Antonio Valencia and Anthony Martial, followed by a later addition from Romelu Lukaku.
In fact, Rashford’s place in the side could be under threat if United land the Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal.
The 20-time champions of England are ready to meet the player’s wage demands as well as the £35million mark for the Chilean’s fee.
