Video: United players intervene to pull Rashford away from ‘fan’ shouting abuse at forward pre-match

Manchester United players intervened to calm Marcus Rashford down after he was heckled by a so-called fan in attendance at Old Trafford tonight.

It came during the Reds’ pre-match warm-up, with the Englishman returning to the bench for the first time since the 2-2 draw with Bournemouth on April 13.

The video, shared by supporter @_StrettyEnd on X (Twitter), shows Christian Eriksen and Antony guiding Rashford away from the stands, after which he then walks away from the squad as the person shouts “Oi d**khead”.
