Marcus Rashford's brother Dane received a warm welcome by Aston Villa supporters in Belgium before their Champions League last 16 tie with Club Brugge on Tuesday night.
Footage shared by ITV showed fans chanting about the Manchester United loanee in a pub, as Dane joined them. Dane, who was all smiles, was greeted by Villa icon Ian Taylor who represented the club for nine years between 1994 and 2003.
Rashford was subject of the serenading by the supporters and Taylor led the chants. While there are questions over where Rashford will end up come the end of the season, Villa fans have already embraced his family as one of their own.

The 27-year-old was named in Unai Emery's starting XI to face Brugge - making his first appearance in the Champions League since December 2023. He has had a bright start to life at Villa, returning three assists in six appearances.
Villa previously fell to a 1-0 defeat to Brugge in the group stages of the competition, but went on to finish in the top eight and bypassed the play-off round. Brugge meanwhile, beat Europa League holders Atalanta in the play-offs.
Speaking before the game, Rio Ferdinand admitted being pleased to see Rashford in the starting team. "I was pleased. What he gives them is that out [ball], pace and ability to run in behind and that isn't something that we have associated with Marcus over the last few years," he told TNT Sports.
"That is what made him famous and that is what raised everyone's eyebrows, and got everyone excited. He is back doing that now in the glimpses we have seen in an Aston Villa shirt, and it's why Rashford is there.
"Leon Bailey will get it into feet a bit more, but you've also then got the likes of Morgan Rogers and [Ollie] Watkins who are good runners to get in behind this team and be a threat. If they want to sit back - Aston Villa - and soak up some pressure then they know they've got some firepower the other way."
