Andy Cole, a former Manchester United player, recently expressed his disappointment with the treatment of current United forward Marcus Rashford by the team's fans. Rashford was met with boos during their match against Liverpool last weekend, and Cole believes this is not the support that the young player deserves.
United has been facing criticism after their 3-0 defeat against Erik ten Hag's team, and Rashford has been one of the players targeted for underperforming. However, during the match, it was clear that he was being singled out by the fans when they booed the decision to replace another player instead of Rashford.
Despite Rashford's struggles in the past season, where he only scored eight goals in all competitions, Cole was still taken aback by the negative reaction from the fans towards a local player. He described it as "surreal" and "disappointing," especially since fans usually support their own players and the team as a whole.
Cole, who has been involved with United for a long time, believes that the only way for Rashford to win back the fans' support is by performing well on the field and scoring goals, just like he did a few seasons ago. The former striker also urged patience from the fans and emphasized the importance of Rashford getting back to basics in order to rediscover his best form.
He also acknowledged that there may be personal issues affecting Rashford's performance, but in football, it is important to focus on the basics and work hard to improve. Cole reminded everyone that it is still early in the season and there is plenty of time for Rashford to turn things around.
Ten Hag, on the other hand, defended his decision to keep Rashford on the pitch during the match against Liverpool. He pointed out that Rashford created two big chances for his teammates and was a threat to the opposing team.
It is clear that Rashford is going through a rough patch, but with the support of his team and fans, he can bounce back and show his true potential. As Manchester United fans, it is important to stand by our players and continue to support them through both the good and the bad times.
