Following his non-selection with England for Euro 2024, Marcus Rashford has chosen to withdraw from social networks.

A surplus for Marcus Rashford. After a painful season to say the least with Manchester United, the England international learned from his coach, Gareth Southgate, that he would not participate in Euro 2024 organized in Germany from June 14 to July 14. A new blow to the striker’s head, which the victory in the FA Cup final last weekend against Manchester City (1-2), was not enough to completely cure. He has just made a clear decision.

In a final message posted Monday evening on his X account, Marcus Rashford indicated that he was disconnecting from social networks to take a step back and rest. “ It’s time to leave social media for a few weeks. I plan to rest and mentally recharge after a challenging season individually and collectively. Thank you to all the fans who supported me during this difficult time. »

Sad performance

Less lively and less effective this season with Manchester United, Marcus Rashford lost his indisputable starting place under the direction of Erik ten Hag. A situation which weighed on his position in the national team and which ended up costing him his place in the Three Lions group. It’s now time to rest for the twenty-six-year-old man who will be following the Euro in front of his screen, or at least from further away than he would have liked.

During the 2023-2024 financial year, the Red Devil scored only eight small goals and offered five assists in forty-three matches, all competitions combined. A performance far from its usual standards. The rest he will take from now on can only be beneficial to him. United and England fans hope so.
