Marcus Rashford dropped a really disappointing performance in Man United’s 1-0 loss to Newcastle United.
He was barely able to create anything and couldn’t even show the desire to track back and help his defenders.
.
Erik ten Hag got sick of his performance and took the Englishman off around the hour mark, which infuriated Marcus.
He reportedly threw his gloves onto the ground upon learning his fate and looked really angry at the dugout.
Rashford was seen complaining about something to Sergio Reguilon beside him before calming down and watching the match.

Rashford was hooked off in the second half and replaced by Antony after Anthony Gordon fired Eddie Howe into the lead against United.
United fans took to X, formerly Twitter, and called out Rashford for his “body language” in the first half, with one supporter saying it was “disgraceful” to see.
One X user claimed that the Three Lions star dropped an “absolute stinker again,” while one suggested that Rashford is “so horribly out of form.”
“You’re lucky that you even make the bench. Terrible attitude and performance again. Just lazy” one fan said.
Someone else commented: “Rashford’s body language is disgraceful, needs dropping.”
Another added: “I know what he is doing there, collecting a huge pay check and applying zero effort, he is an awful example to any kid in football terms.”
While a fourth tweeted: “Does he have the right to be angry with his performance?”
Among all of the issues that Ten Hag has faced at Old Trafford this season, the United manager must be concerned with Rashford’s form at the moment.
Rashford has been staunchly defended by the former Ajax boss this season, but it’s becoming increasingly difficult to argue a case for him to start for United now.
The United star is lacking serious confidence and his red-hot form post-2022 World Cup last season feels like a distant memory at the moment.
Ten Hag is going to face mounting pressure over Rashford after the Newcastle clash and dropping him for the next match can’t be ruled out of the question right now.
