# Manchester United: Fans praise Marcus Rashford over huge Max Taylor gesture

**Marcus Rashford has been a key component to Manchester United over this last month, scoring [eight in his last nine games](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league/manchester-united/manchester-united-fans-react-surprisingly-to-positive-marcus-rashford-statistic/) in all competitions for his club, and now he’s endeared himself further to the Red Devils supporters by congratulating Max Taylor over his call-up to the senior squad.**

Taylor, amongst many other graduates,[has been named in United’s squad list](https://www.football-addict.com/en/article/manchester-united/squad-news-man-united-name-16-academy-graduates-in-super-young-18-man-squad-vs-astana/5dde18ad493e8b45631f32e2) for their trip to Astana on Thursday afternoon – with it being possible he could make his senior debut for the club.

However, unlike the rest of United’s youngsters, Taylor’s story [has made worldwide news](https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/english-soccer/cancer-survivor-max-taylor-on-cusp-of-remarkable-man-united-debut-1.4096608) due to his battle with cancer temporarily putting his footballing career in jeopardy.

Now, the Englishman [appears to have overcome the illness](https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/max-taylor-formerly-max-dunne-responds-successfully-to-cancer-treatment), prompting floods of praise for his bravery and resolve during one of the hardest times of his life.

Echoing that sentiment, Rashford congratulated his fellow academy starlet with a Twitter post, explaining how he deserves this moment.

As a result, supporters have praised the incredible gesture on social media, here’s what they had to say.
