Marcus Rashford has denied making a rude gesture to Manchester United fans as he left Old Trafford following Tuesday's defeat to Atletico Madrid.
Video footage on social media showed Rashford, who came on as a second-half substitute in the last 16 tie, responding angrily to comments from supporters outside the ground.
But he has insisted: 'I did not gesture with my middle finger. I used my forefinger to direct the fan to 'come over and say it to my face'.
'I had been heckled from the moment I set foot outside the ground, abuse not just aimed at my football.
