In a recent piece for the Players’ Tribune website, Marcus Rashford has addressed the criticism he has faced this season, both on and off the field.
The 26-year-old England international has been questioned for his actions, including being seen in a Belfast nightclub before missing a training session due to illness.
However, Rashford is adamant that his commitment to Manchester United should never be called into question.
Rashford, who has been with the club since he was a young boy, expressed his deep connection to Manchester United, stating that his family turned down lucrative offers when he was a child so he could proudly wear the club’s badge.
He understands that criticism comes with being a professional athlete, but when his commitment to the club and his love for football are questioned, he feels the need to speak up.
The forward also touched on the media coverage surrounding him, suggesting that there is a certain “tone” to it. He believes that his advocacy for free school meals during the pandemic, for which he was awarded an MBE, may have contributed to this.
Rashford expressed his frustration that the media often focuses on aspects of his personal life rather than just his performance on the pitch.
