Marcus Rashford fires three-word Manchester United 'abuse' message amid exit talk

Marcus Rashford has taken to social media to call out 'months of abuse' in a message to his Manchester United critics.

The 26-year-old is going through a barren run of form, scoring just twice in his last 10 Premier League games. He is on course to have his second-least productive year since 2018.

His personal form has coincided with a serious drop-off in results for Erik ten Hag's side, who face a battle to secure a place in the top six. Rashford, who continues to be linked with a move away from Old Trafford this summer, has also only started one league game that United have won since February 24.

The England international was taken off during the FA Cup semi-final collapse against Coventry City on Sunday, leaving the field shortly after Haji Wright's equalising penalty. Disgruntled fans at Wembley Stadium booed as he made his way off the pitch.

He was then left out of the group named by Ten Hag for the eventual 4-2 victory over Sheffield United in midweek with a suspected injury. And taking to social media shortly after midnight, Rashford hit back at those who had been abusive towards him.

"I appreciate your support!" he wrote in response to a positive tweet defending him. "It is abuse and has been for months. Enough is enough".

Rashford has been subject to specific criticism from several high-profile Manchester United fan pages online. User @UtdParadigm was keen to back the Wythenshawe-born forward, though. "The way Marcus Rashford is being treated is absolutely disgusting," they wrote on Twitter/X. "It's cruel. It's abuse."
