Manchester United's exiled forward Marcus Rashford sent a brief message of support to his teammates following their 1-0 Premier League victory over Fulham on Sunday, amidst growing tension with head coach Ruben Amorim.
The 27-year-old England international, who hasn't featured for United in six weeks, took to Instagram to share his thoughts on the win. "Congratulations on the win," Rashford wrote in his story, accompanied by a raising hands emoji.
This gesture comes at a particularly delicate time for Rashford, as his relationship with the club appears to be deteriorating. The forward, who has spent his entire career with the Red Devils, continues to face criticism from Amorim, with the manager recently making another pointed dig at the player's attitude.
The situation at Old Trafford seems to be reaching a critical point, with Rashford increasingly being linked to a potential transfer away from the club. While his teammates prepare for their upcoming Europa League fixture against FCSB on Thursday, speculation grows about Rashford's future, with the transfer window set to close on February 3.
For a homegrown talent who has been synonymous with Manchester United throughout his professional career, the current circumstances mark a particularly bitter turn of events. The continued absence from the first team, coupled with the manager's public criticism, suggests that Rashford's time at his boyhood club might be drawing to an uncomfortable close.
