Marcus Rashford was involved in a heated confrontation with a Manchester United fan while warming up for the clash against Newcastle on Wednesday.
A video on social media went viral ahead of the Premier League fixture at Old Trafford which showed one supporter shouting inaubible abuse towards Rashford.
Rashford looked directly at the fan in the crowd and appeared frustrated by what was said before a second supporter quickly jumped to the player’s defence.
‘Just leave him alone!’ The second fan shouted at the supporter who was aiming the abuse at the England international. ‘Rashford, don’t listen to him!’
Rashford ignored that advice, though, and abandoned his warm-up to walk over to the abusive fan and give him a piece of his mind, which was also inaudible.
The viral clip was posted by @JacobHorsfall_ on X with the caption: ‘This treatment of Rashford is just going too far, can see it’s clearly getting to him too.’
Rashford has endured a tough campaign at United, registering just eight goals across 40 games in all competitions, in a huge drop-off from the 2022-23 season.

He has faced a wave of criticism over his performances from various pundits and in February, Rashford wrote an open letter in response to the criticism he’s faced.
Speaking in April, United boss Erik ten Hag said he had ‘a lot of sympathy’ for Rashford.
’I’ve got a lot of sympathy for Rashy, of course,’ Ten Hag said. ‘Last year, he had a brilliant season. I think the best season in his career, he scored 30 goals.
