- Marcus Rashford shared footage of him putting in hard yards before pre-season
- One fan criticised him, saying he does ‘photo shoots every pre-season’
- Manchester United forward took exception to comment and replied
Marcus Rashford has hit back at an online critic who took a swipe at him after the Manchester United forward shared training footage.
Rashford, 27, posted a short clip on his Instagram doing cardio work, running and jumping on the pitch as he prepares to hit the ground running in pre-season.
He accompanied the clip with the words: ‘Feeling better again’, alongside a grinning emoji.
But one naysayer responded to the reposted clip on X, writing: ‘Every pre-season he does these photo shoots but then goes to see boxing matches half way round the world days before important matches!
‘Makes no sense if you are feeling good one month before the season starts.’
It is unclear which boxing match halfway around the world the poster was referring to but Rashford did attend Conor Benn’s fight with Chris Eubank Jr on UK soil the day Aston Villa lost their FA Cup semi-final against Crystal Palace – a game he was injured for.

Rashford found form on loan at Aston Villa before injury cut short the end of his season
Rashford saw the comment and replied: ‘I’m feeling good because I’m now injury free pal.’
It remains to be seen whether Rashford has a future at Man United having been loaned out by Ruben Amorim last January.
He found form and confidence again at Aston Villa under Unai Emery and is valued at around £40million.
His agent met with Barcelona director Deco in Spain at the end of the season and United want to move the 27-year-old’s £315,000-a-week salary off their wage bill.
Villa could return for another loan as a transfer may be too steep for PSR parameters but Rashford’s preference is understood to be Barcelona if they can stump up the fee.
With United already having bolstered their attack with Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo expected to follow, it seems even more unlikely Rashford will be at Old Trafford next term.
Earlier this month, Rashford was spotted enjoying some downtime in St Tropez with a 22-year-old influencer known mononymously as Wiktoria.
Although little is known about Wiktoria, she is thought to be based in London.
