Amid scrutiny over his performances this season, Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford has taken to social media to address the criticism.
The 26-year-old, who signed a lucrative contract extension last season after impressing for the Red Devils, has struggled to replicate his stellar form that earned him Man United’s players’ player of the year award in May last year.
Reacting to the ongoing criticism, Rashford fired back at his critics on social media this week. His response came after a fan posted on Twitter, expressing disgust at the treatment Rashford has received. Rashford quoted the tweet with a defiant message, stating, “I appreciate your support! It is abuse and has been for months. Enough is enough.”

Fans also observed Rashford changing his profile picture to an all-black icon in solidarity.
So far this season, Rashford has scored eight goals, a noticeable contrast to his career-best tally of 30 goals last year. Currently sidelined with an injury sustained in the FA Cup semi-final, Rashford is expected to miss United’s upcoming game against Burnley unless there is a positive update from manager Erik ten Hag during his pre-match press conference.
