An angry Manchester United fan has slammed Marcus Rashford after he was spotted watching a New York Knicks basketball game courtside in the NBA.
Rashford was not picked in the latest England squad during the international break and instead decided to head out to the United States to watch the Knicks.
The 27-year-old was seen in one of the best seats in the house at Madison Square Garden as the Knicks defeated the Brooklyn Nets 124-122 in a thrilling showdown.
Rashford was given Jalen Brunson’s game-worn jersey afterwards, which the American basketball star personally signed for the United forward.
While most United fans did not seem to mind Rashford’s Stateside trip, there was one supporter who unleashed a furious rant on social media.
‘Honestly I feel like this man has lost all interest [in] football in the last 20 months,’ @Utd_Forever7, a verified account with over 119,000 followers, posted on X.
‘MUFC have a new coach and everyone is excited and ready to impress him on training, but you have a wage of £350k per week and fly to New York just to watch a basketball game instead of improving on training!?
‘Do we see players like Salah/Saka/Haaland or other players that are essential for their team do something like this on the middle of the season!? NO.
‘Me more than anyone else want to see Rashford succeed because he is born and bred in RED, but like this we never gonna see that.
‘The inconsistency of him when he is playing and things like this will never make him win something major on our squad. NEVER!’
Rashford has produced just one goal and one assist across 11 Premier League games so far this season.
Other United fans have defended Rashford over his short holiday to the USA with @47kasz posting: ‘He can’t catch a break. He’s a the media scapegoat. I hate that Man Utd fans join to treat him this way.’
@UtdFaithfuls added: ‘Exactly, it’s just sad being constantly targeted like this, especially by your own fans.’
