Manchester United fans unhappy about the same thing after Marcus Rashford 'goal' vs Aston Villa

Many Manchester United fans are unhappy that Marcus Rashford's equalising goal versus Aston Villa has been ruled as a Tom Heaton own goal.

Rashford latched onto Andreas Pereira's excellent cross just before the break to make it 1-1 at Old Trafford , following Jack Grealish's eye-catching opener.

United had been poor up to that point in the Premier League fixture, with Villa dominating for long periods. But Rashford's strike (or the own goal) gave them a lifeline going into the second half and Victor Lindelof's goal turned it around to make it 2-1, only for Tyrone Mings to quickly make it 2-2.

There was plenty of debate among United fans over whether the first half goal should have been awarded to Rashford or attributed as an own goal for former United 'keeper Heaton.

The Premier League official Twitter account said: "After review, the Goal Accreditation Panel have credited the goal as a Tom Heaton own goal."

And it wasn't just some United fans who wanted Rashford's incredible scoring streak to continue. Some Fantasy Premier League players also took to social media to vent their frustration. Rashford himself will surely be unhappy as he looked to claim his 14th goal of the season, and 11th in his last 12 games.

Here's what the fans have been saying on social media:
