Manchester United Fans Criticize Rashford Banner

During Manchester United's Carabao Cup quarter-final against Tottenham, fans displayed a banner reading 'Excuses. Ta ra Marcus' in reference to Marcus Rashford, who was absent from the squad for the second consecutive match. This public criticism of the academy graduate follows Rashford's recent comments about seeking a 'new challenge' in his career, indicating his readiness to leave Old Trafford without hard feelings. Manager Ruben Amorim stated that Rashford's omission was a selection decision, despite the player missing training due to illness earlier in the week. The banner has sparked backlash from other supporters, who argue that fans should rally behind the team on matchday, regardless of personal opinions about individual players. Rashford's situation reflects his struggle to regain form, having underperformed compared to his previous season, where he scored 30 goals.
