Rashford’s £700,000 Rolls Royce was wrecked in the horror near Carrington on Saturday following the club’s 1-0 win over Burnley.
He stopped to help the woman along with club captain Bruno Fernandes, who had seen his teammate’s wrecked motor.
United’s club doctor checked over Rashford and offered medical aid to the gran-of-five.
Club officials also paid for a taxi to take her 15 miles home.
Her three children were understood to be arranging a hospital check-up, while Rashford was excused from training.
A source said: “The woman was on her way home from babysitting her grand-daughter. She’s a cautious, careful driver and even more so when it’s raining — which it was.
“The impact caused the airbags to go off. She was very, very shaken and confused. She’s not a football fan and didn’t have any idea who Marcus Rashford is.”
Police breathalysed both drivers.
No arrests were made and cops decided not to call an ambulance as the female driver said she did not want to go to hospital.
The accident happened in a 40mph zone on Carrington Spur near United’s Aon training complex — where players had returned by coach just before midnight.
In a post on Instagram which referred to United’s away win, the striker wrote: “3 points on the road! I’m alright guys thanks for the messages.”
United added: “Marcus is fine. It was an accidental collision, Thankfully, both were uninjured.”
