by David de Gea could not hold back with his celebration directly in front of the Leeds fans after Alejandro Garnacho scored Manchester United’s second goal at Elland Road.
The Red Devils traveled to the Leeds ground on Sunday for their second successive fixture against their rivals after a 2-2 draw at Old Trafford last week.
Just five minutes from Rashford’s superb first goal, Erik ten Hag’s men sealed the three points after Garnacho buried a stunning shot past Illan Meslier.
One fan recorded footage of an ecstatic De Gea returning to his box and punching repeatedly after Garnacho scored for United.
“I would love to celebrate like this in front of my haters,” said one fan in response to the footage.
A second simply commented: “You love to see this.”
“Nah, he’s a legend for that. S**thousery suitable,” another fan tweeted.
While a quarter added: “Definitely my new voicemail.”
And a fifth Twitter user posted: “We need more goalkeeper celebration cameras across the league (to be honest).”
De Gea made his 400th Premier League appearance for United and equaled Peter Schmeichel’s record of 178 clean sheets.
“Today wasn’t about that, it was about winning the game and we did that so now I can enjoy 400 Premier League games,” he told Sky Sports after the match.
“It’s great to come here, to play like we did today. Clean sheets, three massive points and 400 games (it’s the) perfect day.”
De Gea added: “You saw how much it meant at the end of the game.
“The fans, the players. We deserved to win at home (on Wednesday), but today we did.
“Great game, we knew if we could keep the score clean we would win the game so we did it.
“We fought until the end as a team. Players like Harry (Maguire), he hasn’t been playing as much as he can.
“He played today and he was fantastic, which means the team is playing strong.”
