Marcus Rashford sends Michail Antonio message after West Ham win Europa Conference League

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford was pleased to see Michail Antonio win the Europa Conference League.

On Wednesday night, West Ham United triumphed in the European competition thanks to a late winner from Jarrod Bowen - which clinched a 2-1 win over Fiorentina and the trophy in Prague. Bowen’s 90th minute winner, after Said Benrahma's second half penalty was cancelled out, sealed victory for the Hammers - who won their first major honour since 1980 and booked their place in next season’s Europa League.

David Moyes' men endured a disappointing Premier League campaign but made up for it on the European stage - with a quite remarkable unbeaten journey.

Believe in yourself"
