Eriksen advised Rashford to calm down
The incident happened before kickoff in the match when MU welcomed Newcastle at Old Trafford in the round 34 compensation match. Specifically, while Rashford was warming up with his teammates near the touchline, what did a MU fan say? That was very difficult to hear for the English striker.
According to Metro, this fan insulted Rashford. Immediately, another fan advised the 26-year-old striker not to pay attention to what the other man said.
“Leave him alone. Rashford, don’t listen to him,” a fan told fans to insult Rashford and the MU star
Despite advice, with a very upset look on his face, Rashford returned to exchange words with the person who insulted him. The incident only calmed down when a number of MU players, including Eriksen and Antony, came forward to advise the English player to cool down.
In MU’s win over Newcastle, Rashford did not start. Coach Ten Hag brought in the 26-year-old star to replace Garnacho in the 84th minute.
As a substitute, Rashford did not leave any mark, did not score and did not assist. Thus, the England international is approaching the end of the 2023-24 season in disappointment.
Up to this point, Rashford has only scored 9 goals and had 5 assists in 41 matches in all competitions for the Red Devils. It is important to know that the MU star scored 30 goals and had 10 assists in the previous campaign. Because of his poor performance, Rashford is at risk of not being able to attend the EURO 2024 finals with the England team.
