Infuriated Marcus Rashford seems to confront a memember of the group

Marcus Rashford was spotted confronting a member of the crowd inside Old Trafford during Manchester United‘s warm-up ahead of their game against Newcastle on Wednesday night. 

Footage posted on social media showed the England international responding to a supporter during as he went through his preparations. 

Rashford had not been included in Erik ten Hag‘s starting line-up for the match on Wednesday, with the forward having not played since United’s FA Cup semi-final victory against Coventry City in April after suffering an ankle injury.

One video saw Rashford have a back and forth exchange with a member of the crowd, walking away from his team-mates to the touchline as they went through pre-match stretches.

In another, Rashford was seen being ushered away from the touchline by his team-mates, with Christian Eriksen seen attempting to grab his arm.

One fan can be overheard telling those sat near to a group of photographers to ‘just leave him [Rashford] alone.’

‘Don’t listen to him Rashford,’ a supporter was heard shouting as the Man United players returned to the dressing rooms after completing their warm-up.

Rashford was cheered on by supporters as a second half substitute in Man United’s 3-2 win over Newcastle. 

It’s been a tough season for the Man United star, who has failed to match his 30-goal haul of the 2022-23 campaign. 

Amid injuries and issues off the pitch, the striker has scored just seven goals in the Premier League this season, having made 31 appearances. 

Some United fans have criticised his performances on social media, with well-known YouTuber Mark Goldbridge hitting out at Rashford for his lack of form. 

After receiving abuse online, Rashford offered a concerning update on how he was, speaking out against ‘months of abuse’ he had received, telling fans that ‘enough was enough’.

One United fan had published a post on X (formerly Twitter) which read: ‘The way Marcus Rashford is being treated is absolutely disgusting. It’s cruel. It’s abuse.’

The United forward wrote back claiming that he was tired of the abuse he has received in recent months. ‘I appreciate your support! It is abuse and has been for months. Enough is enough,’ Rashford said.

But it appears Rashford has continued to receive abuse from United fans even inside Old Trafford, with the forward looking incensed by the comments that were put to him during Wednesday’s warm-up. 

Earlier this season, the England star had faced the wrath of his manager Erik ten Hag after he was spotted on a night out in Belfast, before subsequently failing to turn up to training, costing him a place in United’s squad for their FA Cup clash against Newport County. 

Rashford issued a statement reflecting on the incident and his season in the Player’s Tribune, stating that people need to stop questioning his commitment to Man United.

‘Listen, I’m not a perfect person,’ Rashford wrote in an article published in the Players Tribune. ‘When I make a mistake, I’ll be the first one to put my hand up and say I need to do better.

Rashford has struggled to match his 30-goal haul from last season, scoring eight times across all competitions in 2023-24

‘But if you ever question my commitment to Man United, that’s when I have to speak up.

‘It’s like somebody questioning my entire identity and everything I stand for. I grew up here. I have played for this club since I was a boy. My family turned down life-changing money when I was a kid so I could wear this badge.’
