Manchester United supporters are expressing their anger after Marcus Rashford was once again excluded from the latest England squad, with many questioning whether there is an underlying “agenda” against the 27-year-old forward.
Rashford, who last featured for England in a 1-0 friendly loss to Brazil in March, was not called up for the upcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures against Greece and the Republic of Ireland. Despite a mixed start to the season at club level, where he has scored four goals and registered three assists in 16 appearances, the decision to leave him out has sparked outrage among fans.
Rashford’s form at Manchester United has been a source of frustration, particularly after being substituted by former manager Erik ten Hag at half-time during a 3-3 Europa League draw with Porto, even after contributing a goal and an assist in that match.
Looking ahead, Rashford will be hoping that the arrival of Ruben Amorim, the highly regarded Sporting CP boss, can reignite his United career. With the imminent change in management, some fans are hopeful that a fresh start could see Rashford return to his best form.
In the meantime, United supporters have taken to social media to voice their displeasure over the England decision, with many questioning the rationale behind Rashford’s omission. The exclusion has fueled speculation that there may be a bias against the player, especially considering the form of other players in his position.
Rashford’s supporters are also pointing out that, like Manchester United, England will soon have a new managerial direction, which could provide a clean slate for the winger to earn his place back in the national team. However, for now, fans remain frustrated with the continued snubbing of one of the club’s key players.
