Rashford thanks Man Utd fan for 'clarifying' goal celebration

Manchester United star Marcus Rashford has courted controversy over the weekend.

The forward, who scored his first home goal since May 2023 at the weekend, celebrated by gesturing a mouth with his hand.

Fans speculated that Rashford was talking about criticism he had been receiving all season, which led to Roy Keane and Jamie Redknapp speaking about that celebration.

“We need to see more, he's showed it before, he's got the quality. Why does he seem to be upset with everybody? He's got to go and enjoy it he's playing for Man United," Keane told Sky Sports.

Redknapp added: “He's got no right to be upset, he's not done the business!. That's not good enough!"

A user on X (formerly Twitter) posted: “He's clearly referring to the abuse he's been subjected to this week since he commented on Sancho's post.

“They literally questioned his loyalty and commitment to us, and he did shut them up by scoring AND assisting. If he didn't score, he's s***e, if he does it's this BS."

Rashford surprisingly replied to the tweet, stating: “Thank you for clarifying this matter."
