Marcus Rashford confirms reason for controversial Man Utd goal celebration in strong response to 'why does he seem upset' jibe from Roy Keane

Premier League

Manchester United

The England international forward was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-tottenham-marcus-rashford-rasmus-hojlund/blt0226edda781c39d8" target="_blank">on target for the Red Devils in their 2-2 draw with Tottenham</a>. Said strike was Rashford’s first at Old Trafford in the 2023-24 Premier League campaign. He <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/30-goals-not-enough-marcus-rashford-raise-bar-man-utd-boss-erik-ten-hag-personal-best-2022-23/blt92a2a14873938c7f" target="_blank">hit 30 goals across all competitions last season</a>, but has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/one-goal-14-years-marcus-rashford-likened-antony-martial-roy-keane-warns-misfiring-man-utd-forward/blt86aed9cfe53ee0f8" target="_blank">struggled for a spark this term</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Rashford’s lack of end product, which has com<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/marcus-rashford-sign-new-man-utd-deal-2028-rejecting-lucrative-proposals/blta6d6294d540b4ddc" target="_blank">e on the back of signing a lucrative new contract</a>, has led to inevitable questions being asked of his contribution. After hitting the net against Spurs, Rashford celebrated by making mouth movements with his hand – suggesting that some people like to talk too much.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

We need to see more; he’s shown it before, and he’s got the quality. Why does he seem to be upset with everybody? He’s got to go and enjoy it he’s playing for Man United.”

DID YOU KNOW?

A Red Devils supporter has attempted to shed light on why Rashford may be eager to make a point to his detractors – with more questions being asked after he wished Jadon Sancho well during a loan spell at Borussia Dortmund – and a post on social media read: “He’s clearly referring to the abuse he’s been subjected to this week since he commented on Sancho’s post. They literally questioned his loyalty and commitment to us, and he did shut them up by scoring AND assisting. If he didn’t score, he’s sh*te, if he does it’s this BS smh.” Rashford responded to that message by saying: “Thank you for clarifying this matter.”<center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Thank you for clarifying this matter.— Marcus Rashford (@MarcusRashford) <a href="https://twitter.com/MarcusRashford/status/1746880789017448560?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 15, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT RASHFORD SAID

Rashford will hope to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/inside-marcus-rashford-man-utd-malaise/blt713350a457e8e543" target="_blank">see his football do the talking from now on</a>, with the 26-year-old proving against Spurs that he can be a devastating finisher when presented with opportunities in the final third. United will not be back in action until January 28, when they take in an FA Cup fourth-round clash with either Newport County or Eastleigh.
