Marcus Rashford Fires Back At Man United Critics
Dr Marcus Rashford MBE Fires Back At Man United Critics
Marcus Rashford has used social media to address a situation that occurred following Manchester United’s Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid at Old Trafford.
following statement on Twitter:
“There are 2 sides to every story. A video can paint a thousand words and in this case lead to inaccurate info being shared on social media. Guys for weeks I’ve been heckled, threatened, questioned and last night my emotion got the better of me. I’m a human being. Reading and hearing that stuff about yourself every day it wears you down. No one is more critical of my performance than me.
“But what you see in this video lacks context. I had been heckled from the minute I stepped foot outside the ground, abuse not just aimed at my football. People were looking for a reaction from me. Phones were at the ready. Of course I should have walked straight past and ignored it, that’s what we’re supposed to do right?
“I want to clarify 2 things. The first being what I actually said to the man throwing abuse at me which was “come over here and say it to my face” (a fact security can back up) and secondly, the fact I used my forefinger to direct the fan to ‘come over and say it to my face.’ I did not gesture with my middle finger.
“I’m not entitled. This isn’t ego. I’m upset. I’m disappointed. And in that moment it was silly but I was being human.”
Marcus Rashford’s England place is under threat, with Gareth Southgate facing a key decision over whether to drop him and bring in his Manchester United team-mate Jadon Sancho.
Southgate is expected to name a larger-than-usual men’s squad on Thursday, the first of 2022, for games against Switzerland and Ivory Coast as he begins preparations for the winter World Cup in Qatar.
And there is real doubt whether Rashford will be included on the list: he has started just three Premier League games in 2022 and scored just twice since the start of November. He began on the substitutes’ bench for United’s Champions League last-16 tie with Atletico Madrid on Tuesday evening.

World Cup build-up begins
We shouldn’t expect Southgate to experiment too much with this squad selection, or with these games. It is one of only three senior training camps before the winter World Cup, and England’s boss is determined to focus his players’ minds and begin preparations now.
To that end, Southgate will use this camp to discuss directly with his players how they want to approach the issue of human rights abuses in Qatar.

Always remember that Arsenal will finish on 4th position this season☠️💀
I’ve never seen man city defend thus much in my life😂😂
A crazy match
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk spoke to Sky Sports after the full-time whistle.
“(We were) much better in the second half than the first 15-20 minutes of the first half,” he said.
“Every time they found a man in the pocket and we should have closed the middle a bit better.
With major intensity 😍
What a duel between pep and klopp
Experience the Premier League 💪🏿
If there’s any team that can get a point or win from behind against city, it’s this team. Overall, they’ve played relatively well, they’ve created chances and they defended relatively well. Seen lots of encouraging plays in second half to give you encouragement for the goal.
Too much energy from both sides.. we enjoyed the game, the race to the champion continue.
Both teams played well ❤️🩹,,, Liverpool deserve to win 💯💯👌,,,,, hopefully Man city draw again Arsenal 💯💯👌,
Either you likes it or not Liverpool is winning the league 💯👌👌,
Arsenal is just a caretaker 🤣🤣
The Gunners remain top of the Premier League table after the draw at Anfield.
Their victory against Brentford on Sunday propelled them into pole position and that is where they stay following the draw at Anfield
According to ESPN Africa, The Ghana FA is reportedly trying to persuade Man Utd star Kobbie Mainoo to ditch England and represent the African nation instead 🇬🇭.
Rumors have it that Kobbie Mainoo rejects all proposals from some officials from Ghana Football Association based on his career preparation. According to him, He hasn’t decided to play for Ghana or England yet. He’s keenly focused on building himself now🦻
#Ghana update
Demarshian feels we don’t need Manchester United kobbie mainoo services for black stars? ⭐️⚽️
Your thought are welcome, guys.
I don’t understand why Ghana don’t want to develop it’s own talent but claw around the Globe looking for players who have no love for the country.
The Ghana FA is trying to persuade Kobbie Mainoo to ditch England and represent the his 🇬🇭motherland.
Times UK.
Ghanaians React to Kobbie Mainoo Playing for Ghana Black Stars Proposal
Check out some social media reactions to the GFA trying to convince Kobbie Mainoo to represent the Black Stars:
Sitsofe Kojo Atorsu
Young man, don’t come and destroy your career okay. You’re going to be great if you stay in the UK.
Obeng Nyamekye Maxwell
They want to destroy that boy’s bright future, leave him alone
Sammy Genfi
That’s what this GFA is good at. They are doing business and not football. We have top talents here who can be better than Kobbie when we treat them right
Isaac Kwesi Essel
Mainoo,Please you are not the only African to switch your nationality oooo ,think before playing for our Country Ghana ooo.learn from Mbappe, saka ,Benzema etc,even Zidane did not play for Algeria.
Should Kobbie Mainoo Play for Ghana Black Stars?
Francis Owusu Ansah
It will be highly nonsensical for Mainoo to reject England n play for Ghana. They will connive you with their crafty ideas n later dump you like Afena Gyan. Mainoo be wise. Don’t give them a seat even they come to your house, moreover, distance yourself 5047km away from any GFA member.
Onua Kwabee
Are These leaders ever going to learn? You brought Tariq and Inaki, what has happened to the team. Instead of working to find talents in Ghana you are chasing the wind.
Äyåm Spåñky
The only difference in him being an English player vs Ghanaian player is his market value and hype… He’ll get the best media hype and his market value will be so high when he’s an English player… Trophy wise, the value is the same😂😂
James Tetteh-Martins
The GFA should be ashamed of themselves. Sincerely there is no pride in playing for this current Ghana team. Playing for Somalia 🇸🇴 will even be far better than playing for the Black Stars team.
Thierry Nyann
If Kobbie is your son will u allow him to play for Ghana ?? Ghanaians are so funny when they hear a player has scored a goal for his club then want him to play for Ghana. Where is Afena Gyan,we prefer these international players to our local players making them feel too big that’s why we will always be the first country to be knocked out of every tournament..Angola and other African countries rely on their local players and they played better football ..It’s a high time we stop forcing players and build our own players to grow.

How good is Jadon Sancho actually? Man Utd Strange Case Of Jadon Sancho: Fraud or Unlucky Signing? In this episode, we take on Jadon Sancho who played for Man City, Borussia Dortmund, Man United and England national team for most of his career before making a big money move to Old Trafford.
In my opinion Sancho is a tiki taka player. Kinda reminds me of Iniesta play style. He needs to play in a team where players are close together to combine one twos and use his ball retention and short passing. He is also a very decent finisher. Garnacho will take his pick at United 100 percent.
Centrally , Sancho is not afforded the time and space he has become accustomed to out wide. The England international excels in one-on-one situations, so a period of adjustment to the more congested areas centrally will be required.
Sancho has tried to find solutions; frustrated by those congested areas, he has dropped deep to find space but has found those areas occupied by deep-lying midfielders,
This struggle may not only be Sancho’s fault. It’s United deep-seated issues. Over the years so many players walking in there have gone from good to trash, with many of them bouncing back again after leaving. It’s a very interesting phenomenon really.
Sancho should go somewhere else. He was absolutely fantastic in BVB and I am sure the kid is world class talent in the same league as Foden and Saka. And it was not like he needed to be on a great team or a specific system to work. BVB struggled a lot with consistency the time he was there.
Man Utd Strange Case Of Jadon Sancho: Fraud or Unlucky Signing?
He isn’t finished yet. Someone needs to tell him something to help him regain his confidence. Since Neymar called him a great player and one of Jo’s favourite England players, he’s gone off Social Media and it looks like he could be concentrating on football now.
If there is a bad time to tumble out of form then this is it.
With a World Cup just over a month away Jadon Sancho’s displays for Manchester United are hardly doing much to earn him a recall to the England squad for a trip to Qatar.
Yet, international football will be the least of concerns for Sancho right now as this poor run of form is more than a blip – it seems to have blighted his whole United career so far.
It continued on Thursday night when given a Europa League start at minnows Omonia Nicosia he was hauled off at half-time with his side embarrassingly trailing 1-0.
Man Utd Strange Case Of Jadon Sancho: Fraud or Unlucky Signing?
He will come back stronger.. You guys can speculate and jump to conclusions all you want.. He’s neither a fraud nor a flop, he’s just undergoing his phase as a young player, which every young player experiences, even the well experienced players do also..
I haven’t given up on him because I know his potential, he just needs to be strong-minded and push through this crisis by training and working hard, then he will become a stronger and better player.. Big up yourself Jadon Sancho.. I await your return to the team..
Scholes has hinted at the problems faced by Sancho, but why has he struggled in light of the form he once displayed for Dortmund since moving to Old Trafford?
It was playing in Germany that catapulted Sancho into English football in the first place, with his Dortmund form seeing him storm into Gareth Southgate’s England team as part of a forward line consisting of him Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling while still just 18-years-old.

His talent wasn’t exactly a secret, he was always tipped for a bright future while in Manchester City’s youth academy and eyebrows were raised when he departed for Dortmund in the summer of 2017 for a little under £20million as he sought regular first-team football.
