Rashford, who scored for the first time in eight months, ran towards the crowd and raised his right hand in a talking motion.

His gesture was towards his critics, in particular Sky Sports pundits Keane and Redknapp.

The England international has since taken to X, formerly Twitter, to reply to a comment from a Man United fan who claimed the celebration was actually in reference to the criticism he received for commenting under a Jadon Sancho post.

Rashford said: "Thank you for clarifying this matter", in response to the supporter.

After the draw, Man United legend Keane said: "We need to see more, he's showed it before, he's got the quality.

"Why does he seem to be upset with everybody? He's got to go and enjoy it he's playing for Man United.

"He simplified his game [today]. He's obviously been told by his manager, the coaching staff that when we are in possession, in space, you've got to run in this game.

"You've got to stretch teams and when Marcus is doing that it's very hard to stop."

Redknapp also had a few words to say in the way of Rashford after he netted his first goal since May.

"He's got no right to be upset, he's not done the business!. That's not good enough!"

Teddy Sheringham believes Rasmus Hojlund has a bright future at Manchester United, but demands that their wingers give him more service in the box

"With his talent, what he can do to people - twist them up - that's what he should be doing. Don't complain!"

Rashford and teammate Rasmus Hojlund were later praised by boss Erik Ten Hag.

"I hope they keep going, there is progress," the Dutchman said.

"They are coming up with some routines and that is what you need, especially in the front line where a quick decision has to be made and in a split second you need the right decision so you need intuition."
