Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has been showered with support from fans after facing unwarranted criticism on social media. The England international, who struggled for form last season, found himself under fire from online trolls—but the Red Devils faithful have made their stance clear.
Fans Rally Behind Rashford
Despite a difficult campaign, Rashford remains a beloved figure at Old Trafford. Supporters took to social media to defend the 26-year-old, emphasising his past contributions and potential to bounce back under manager Erik ten Hag.
A Season to Forget
Rashford’s 2023/24 season was far from his best, with the forward netting just eight goals in all competitions—a stark contrast to his career-high 30 goals the previous year. Injuries and a loss of confidence played a part, but fans are optimistic he can rediscover his form.
Social Media Backlash
Online critics were quick to pounce on Rashford’s dip in performance, but the backlash only galvanised his supporters. Many pointed to his charity work and commitment to the club as reasons to stand by him.
What’s Next for Rashford?
With pre-season underway, Rashford has a chance to reset and prove his doubters wrong. Ten Hag has previously backed the forward, and a strong start to the new campaign could silence the negativity for good.
