During a warm-up session at Old Trafford before the Manchester United vs. Newcastle game on Wednesday, Marcus Rashford found himself in a heated confrontation with a fan. A video that went viral on social media showed a supporter shouting incomprehensible abuse at Rashford. As the player looked directly at the fan, he seemed visibly frustrated by the words being thrown at him. However, another supporter quickly came to his defense, shouting, "Just leave him alone!" and "Rashford, don't listen to him!"
Despite this, Rashford chose to take matters into his own hands and approached the abusive fan to give him a piece of his mind. The exact words exchanged between the two are not clear as they were inaudible in the video. The clip was shared by @JacobHorsfall_ on X, with a caption expressing concern for Rashford and the treatment he has been receiving from fans.
The 2022-23 season has been a tough one for Rashford, with only eight goals in 40 games across all competitions. This is a significant drop from his previous season's performance. As a result, he has faced criticism from pundits and fans alike. In February, he even wrote an open letter addressing the criticism he has been facing.
In April, Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag expressed sympathy for Rashford, saying, "I've got a lot of sympathy for Rashy, of course. Last year, he had a brilliant season, scoring 30 goals, which I believe was the best in his career so far. However, this season, his performances have not been up to par, and people have been very critical. We need to support him and help him get back to the level he was at last year. He has the potential, and we have seen it before."
As the game against Newcastle approaches, there are rumors that it may be Rashford's last game at Old Trafford. Some sources claim that he will be leaving the club after this match, joining fellow players Paul Pogba and David de Gea in the departure list. This news has sparked a lot of interest among fans, with many speculating about his next destination.
Meanwhile, other trending news includes Ange Postecoglou's reaction to Tottenham fans chanting about Arsenal during Manchester City's defeat, and the possibility of a third Manchester United player leaving the club after the Newcastle game. In addition, Arsenal fans have been vocal about their disappointment in Son Heung-min's miss against Manchester City and have even accused him of having "blood on his hands." There have also been reports that Manchester United has made initial contact with a shock replacement for Erik ten Hag, adding to the buzz around the club's future.
