Fans stunned by Marcus Rashford’s actions during Bodo/Glimt victory as revealing pitchside footage surfaces.

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has faced criticism from fans after footage from Thursday night’s 3-2 Europa League win over Bodo/Glimt went viral.

Ruben Amorim secured his first victory as United head coach in his home debut, with goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Højlund (2) overturning a deficit at Old Trafford. Rashford began the match on the bench but was substituted on around the hour mark, replacing Mason Mount.

During the substitution, Rashford was seen discarding his gloves on the ground rather than handing them to a nearby member of the coaching staff, who had to pick them up twice. This sparked debate among fans, with some criticizing his behavior as disrespectful.

One fan commented on X: “Poor bloke picking up his gloves off the floor when he’s arm’s length away. That’s just basic respect, surely?” Another added: “This kind of behavior shows how self-centered some players have become. Not just Rashford, but it’s embarrassing to see.”

However, others defended Rashford, suggesting the incident was being overblown. “This might be the most nothing video ever. People are just looking for reasons to hate Rashford,” said one supporter.

Earlier this year, Rashford addressed what he sees as unfair scrutiny of his actions both on and off the pitch. Writing for The Players’ Tribune, he reflected on how media narratives about him often focus on irrelevant details, saying: “There’s a tone in the way I’m covered that isn’t the same for all footballers. Let’s just leave it at that.”

Rashford started strong under Amorim, scoring an early goal in last weekend’s 1-1 draw with Ipswich. United, however, remain in a difficult position, sitting 12th in the Premier League, 15 points behind leaders Liverpool. With a crucial match against Everton approaching, Rashford will be expected to step up and help reignite Unite

d’s season.
