- Manchester United star Marcus Rashford flew to the USA to watch the New York Knicks play the Brooklyn Nets in the NBA
- Some fans were not happy one of their star players went to watch the game and called him out on social media
- Rashford has made a poor start to the season, with only four goals in 18 matches in all competitions
Fans have heavily criticised Marcus Rashford after he was spotted courtside watching an NBA game between the New York Knicks and the Brooklyn Nets.
The 27-year-old Manchester United forward has made a difficult start to the season with just four goals.
Rashford was not selected for England's squad, so he got some time off the football pitch. He chose to watch the Knicks defeat their city rivals, the Nets, 124-122, at Madison Square Garden (MSG), per NBA.
Fans troll Rashford
Knicks guard Jalen Brunson gifted the Man United star his game-worn jersey, which he also signed after the game.
Rashford shared a photo of Brunson signing the jersey for him, and while many didn't mind his trip to the USA, some had a problem.
They criticised Rashford for travelling to the USA, with one fan recorded on video making a comment about Crystal Palace. As he exited MSG, a fan was heard aiming a jibe at Rashford.
“Why don’t we get you to Crystal Palace?"Rashford has played 18 games this second and registered four goals and three assists, per Transfermarkt.
Fans blast Rashford
Here are some of the comments from the video.

"A new manager has just arrived, instead of working hard with his team he is off to USA. Totally lost focus from his football. He needs to be shown the door asap."@utdlenny
"I feel sorry for him people bully him for having a life."@_savinha_
"Looks more of a rapper than Footballer"@bigwiziii:
"Man needs to start putting in the work on the field."Will Rashford thrive under Amorim?
Legit.ng earlier reported that Paul Scholes named four Man United players, including Rashford, who could struggle to play under new coach Ruben Amorim.
The Red Devils icon named Rashford and three other players, saying they can't keep up in Amorim's high-octane style.
