The England striker's actions will be under the microscope after his penalty win but the hosts were still unable to see off Swansea at Old Trafford.
The unbeaten run continues for Manchester United, but so too does the overwhelming frustration.
A 10th home draw this season ensured that the top four remains ever-elusive on a day which will almost certainly be remembered most for Marcus Rashford’s hatchet job on Swansea City goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski and the gullibility of referee Neil Swarbrick.
After having their suspicions confirmed by video replays at half-time, Swansea fans took to chanting “1-0 to the referee” as Swarbrick and his fellow officials re-emerged following the award of a match-changing penalty in first-half injury time.
In truth, it was their subsequent booing of Rashford’s every touch that was more appropriate, given the way the England striker had fooled the officials into thinking Fabianski was at fault for the contact between the two close to the bye-line.
