"Something is wrong with Marcus Rashford" -- Fans raise concern

Manchester United secured a commanding 3-0 victory against Everton, claiming a morale-boosting win that propelled them to sixth place in the Premier League, but it wasn’t enough as concern rose for Marcus Rashford.

Amidst the celebration of the 3-0 win, concerns emerged regarding Marcus Rashford’s subdued reaction after scoring his second goal of the season.

The match at Goodison Park showcased Alejandro Garnacho‘s early spectacular bicycle kick, propelling the visitors into an early lead.

Everton’s pursuit for an equalizer was in vain as Anthony Martial was fouled in the box by former United defender Ashley Young, leading to a VAR-assisted penalty decision overturned by referee John Brooks.

Marcus Rashford capitalized on the opportunity, notching his second Premier League goal of the campaign. Martial added a late third goal, sealing the win for Erik ten Hag’s side.

Despite the positive outcome for United, the spotlight fell on Rashford’s celebration—or lack thereof—after netting against Everton.

Post-scoring, Rashford’s relatively restrained reaction, initially marked by a subtle fist pump and a subdued embrace with Martial, caught the attention of both teammates and spectators.

Notably, Rashford appeared reticent to fully engage in celebration until nudged by his teammates towards the traveling United supporters. Eventually, he joined in the jubilation with a smile, but the unusual sequence was picked up by observant fans on social media.

Fans expressed concern and curiosity regarding Rashford’s subdued reaction, with some speculating on potential underlying issues affecting the forward’s demeanor post-goal. Comments circulated across social platforms, questioning the unusual nature of Rashford’s celebration and hinting at possible concerns surrounding the player.

Amidst the discussion, United supporters emphasized the hope for Marcus Rashford to regain his prolific form from the previous season, where he showcased his prowess by scoring 30 goals across all competitions.

Bruno Fernandes, praised for his role in allowing Rashford to take the penalty against Everton, expressed confidence in his teammate’s abilities.

“When you’re a striker, you want to score, need to score,” Fernandes stated in a post-match interview with Sky Sports. “That’s part of their game, but after the penalty, you can see he was unstoppable.”

Fernandes reiterated Rashford’s exceptional contributions last season and acknowledged the heightened expectations this season, reaffirming his belief in Rashford’s world-class talent despite any recent challenges.
