Marcus Rashford kept a low profile as he appeared to snub fans waiting to wave off Manchester United as they made the journey to London ahead of today’s lunchtime kick-off with Fulham.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The England star wore headphones and a baseball cap low over his forehead and seemed engrossed in his iPad as he walked with the team towards Stockport train station on a damp and drizzly morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But whilst his team-mates – including Anthony Martial – stopped for a quick high-five with some of the attendant supporters, Rashford continued straight ahead as he made for the train.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fans on X (formerly Twitter) were divided over the 26-year-old’s behaviour, with the original poster of the video asking: ‘Who does Rashford think he is?’<\/p>\n
Another echoed the sentiment, adding: ‘He always does that. He doesn\u2019t even recognize the fans who most probably wait there for hours.’<\/p>\n

The forward recently came under fire from Erik ten Hag for partying hours after last weekend’s Manchester derby<\/p>\n

But a number had an overwhelming sympathy for the forward, arguing that Rashford was perhaps just ‘getting in the zone’ or ‘tuning out the noise’ ahead of the trip to Craven Cottage.<\/p>\n
The player’s behaviour came under scrutiny on Friday when Rashford received a public remonstration from his manager Erik ten Hag over photographs of academy graduate partying at Chinawhite nightclub hours after defeat in the Manchester derby.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rashford was celebrating his 26th birthday but the timing mattered not a jot to the Dutch head coach as he dubbed the decision ‘unacceptable’ in the wake of the 3-0 home loss.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018I spoke with him about it. It\u2019s unacceptable,’ Ten Hag said. ‘He apologised and that is it. For us it\u2019s an internal matter.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sunday’s defeat was chased by a chastening 3-0 drubbing by Newcastle which knocked them out of the Carabao Cup.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The two results marked the first time that Manchester United have lost back-to-back home matches by three or more goals since the 1962-63 season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Ten Hag refused to doubt his player’s intentions on the pitch in the wake of the misdeed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018He\u2019s very motivated to put things right. He\u2019s totally with us,’ Ten Hag added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018He has made a mistake but that doesn\u2019t say he\u2019s not fitting in. I see him every day in training, what he\u2019s doing, I know.\u2019<\/p>\n
After a blistering 2022-23 season which saw him tally up a remarkable 30-goal haul across all competitions, Rashford was handed a new bumper \u00a3300,000-a-week contract to make him one of the club’s highest earners.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But a dip in form at the start of this United campaign has seen Rashford score just once in 13 outings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Red Devils will be hoping the talismanic figure starts firing again soon, with new summer signing Rasmus Hojlund yet to get off the mark in the Premier League.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Danish striker has picked up three goals in red in Champions League competition, but hasn’t yet opened his account to help United improve upon their eighth-place in the league.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
