Rashford, replying to a post on X, formerly Twitter, which claimed the way he has been treated is “absolutely disgusting” and “cruel”, said the level of criticism has become too much.

Marcus Rashford, the Manchester United forward, has said the criticism he has received so far this season is “abuse.”

Rashford has scored only eight eight times in 40 appearances this campaign.

It has led to the 26-year-old facing some fire from fans and pundits.

Rashford, replying to a post on X, formerly Twitter, which claimed the way he has been treated is “absolutely disgusting” and “cruel”, said the level of criticism has become too much.

He wrote: “It is abuse and has been for months. Enough is enough.”

Rashford, who hit 30 goals in all competitions last season, was dropped to the bench by manager Erik ten Hag for two matches following a poor performance in United’s 1-0 defeat at Newcastle in December while also having his off-field behaviour criticised by the Dutch manager.
