MAN United star Marcus Rashford is using his head and trying to trademark his goal celebration.
The striker, 25, has been pointing to his bonce each time he scores.
His finger salute is a nod to boss Erik ten Hag, who has instilled a positive mental attitude in Rashford — who has nine
Premier League goals so far this season.
Other stars including Brighton’s Danny Welbeck, Newcastle United’s Joelinton and Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka have all imitated the celebration.
Now Rashford has applied to the UK’s Intellectual Property Office to trademark a silhouette design.

If passed, the patent would protect against bootlegs for ten years on everything from computer games and digital images to sports gear, clothing, shoes, phone cases, books educational and motivational services.
An intellectual property lawyer said: “This will give Marcus and his advisors the ability to take action against third parties who may be using the relevant image in the course of trade without consent.”
Explaining the motivation behind the new celebration, England ace Rashford said: “It’s a completely different energy around the club. That puts me in a better headspace and I just feel really motivated now. That’s the area I was struggling in.”
