The United star was caught up in some ugly scenes during the warm up.
Marcus Rashford was involved in a heated exchange with a supporter while warming up before Manchester United’s match against Newcastle at Old Trafford.

The England international approached the stands following ‘abusive’ chants directed at him, and had to be restrained by Antony to prevent the situation from escalating further.Various angles of the incident have surfaced, revealing other fans in the section encouraging Rashford with chants of “Rashford, don’t listen to him.” Speculation surrounding Rashford’s future at the club has been mounting, particularly with increasing links to PSG following the announcement of Kylian Mbappe’s departure.
