Marcus Rashford has told a Manchester United fan channel to ‘stop spreading malicious rumours’ in a response to a video which is titled questioning whether his Old Trafford future is in doubt.

The England forward – who scored 30 goals last season – has suffered so far this campaign, netting just one goal in 14 appearances across all competitions.

His form has come under questioning from fans, with questioning over whether the 26-year-old should be dropped from Erik ten Hag’s starting line-up.

Well known fan channel The United Stand, has added to the questioning, with a video published on Monday titled: ‘Rashford’s future in doubt?’

Rashford has not taken well to the video, hitting back in a reply on social media platform X.

The England international wrote: ‘Please STOP spreading malicious rumours.’

In a description of their video on YouTube, the United Stand wrote: ‘Given Rashford’s injury against Fulham and his recent subpar performances, the question arises: should he still be a regular starter for Manchester United.’

Rashford was recently criticised by manager Ten Hag after visiting a nightclub to celebrate his birthday – immediately after their 3-0 derby defeat to Man City at Old Trafford. 

He came off the bench in the following 3-0 defeat to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup, but was left out of the squad that beat Fulham on Saturday, due to an injury in training. 

The United Stand is one of the biggest fan channels of the club with 1.77 million followers on YouTube. 

Ten Hag, over Rashford’s decision to go out after the loss to rivals Man City, said: ‘I spoke with him about it. It’s unacceptable. He apologised and that is it. For us it’s an internal matter.’

Since that came to light Rashford has kept a low profile, as he didn’t go out with the players following their victory over Fulham at the weekend. 

He did however face criticism from football supporters on social media after a video went viral of him not acknowledging fans at the train station as Manchester United players began their journey to London for the clash at Craven Cottage. 

Rashford has struggled for form this season with just one goal in 14 appearances to date 

Despite outside concerns over his form, Ten Hag told club channel MUTV that he is ‘sure that he will be back on track’. 

He added:’ I see him in training performing so well so I think that before long, he will be back on track. He will make a lot of goals for us and he will be so very important for us.

‘Once we find our rhythm, once the team finds its rhythm, it is also easier for him.’
