Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has reaffirmed his commitment to the club, but words alone cannot convince everyone.
Marcus Rashford’s career has been full of ups and downs, and although he achieved a career-best 30 goals in the 2022/23 season, his goal return was poor with just five goals in the 2023/24 season.
This season, he is reminiscent of Rashford in 2021/22, who lost his place in Manchester United’s starting XI to Anthony Elanga.
Rashford missed training earlier this year after going out for a few nights in Belfast, and subsequently missed the FA Cup fourth round tie at Newport County, suffering his lowest performance.
The forward has returned to United’s starting XI, but he has scored just one goal since returning and has struggled since Rasmus Hojlund was forced to play up front due to injury.
Rashford posted on Players Tribune
Marcus Rashford wanted to get some things off his chest in a post on The Players’ Tribune this week, putting together an impassioned statement about his commitment to Manchester United and addressing some of the criticism he has received. accepted.
He also said some of it had crossed the line and no one should doubt his passion for the club.

The excerpt is as follows: “Listen, I’m not a perfect person. When I make a mistake, I’m the first to raise my hand and say I need to do better.” If I ever have doubts about my commitment, that’s when I have to speak up.

Manchester United fans divided
Marcus Rashford’s post caused mixed reviews. His words resonated with me as a player who clearly has a passion for the club, but we’ve heard all this from him before.
What we want is a winning performance on the pitch, and Rashford can say all he wants, but there are concerns that he’s a little too concerned about what outsiders think of him. There is.
The winning goal and wild celebration against City this weekend will say more than any sentence can.
As this choice of response shows, there are two reasons for Rashford’s post on social media…
positive reaction
(+) After reading Rashford’s article, you have to feel sorry for him. The United player has received far more criticism from the media and even from his own supporters.Once upon a time, we supported our own players
(+) Anyone who can’t support a player like Rashford has no idea what it means to support United. I will never lose faith in this man or have any doubts.he’s just manchester united
(+) It’s incredible that there are United fans who hate Rashford.He’s literally everything to the football club.
(+) Rashford is the only player at the club that I will always support no matter what. Supporting United and making Rashford a scapegoat tells me you don’t support the club for what it is, when you started playing football we were just a winning team. did not.United were built on stories like Rashfords.
(+) I haven’t seen the Marcus Rashford interview. I can not see. As a Manchester United supporter, support the Manchester United players.
negative reaction
(-) Marcus Rashford’s problem is that he believes fans are questioning his ‘commitment’ to Manchester United No mates, we question your ability and question your mentality on and off the pitch.
(-) Seriously, who is giving Rashford advice? No matter who they are, they can’t read the room! It’s a car accident caused by a social media post! In short, that’s all that SJR and INEOS have to fix. If you want to prove something, do it on the pitch!
(-) Good to see Rashford and his PR team’s back. He was totally disgusted by this interview. He should go out on the pitch and show how much he cares instead of complaining about everything. Prove people wrong. After all, I don’t think he’s capable of doing so.
(-) The embodiment of a self-centered, selfish, arrogant man, drunk on his own importance. Englishman Pogba cannot physically cash a personal check. Let’s talk on the pitch.
(-) This is the main reason why we want this player to leave. He doesn’t need to explain or talk about how good he is. We just need to show it on the pitch.
