The 26-year-old is in the spotlight after missing the club's FA Cup win over Newport on Sunday

Manchester United fans on social media are calling for the club to sell Marcus Rashford.

The forward recently raised eyebrows by going out clubbing twice in Northern Ireland, before then reporting ill for training.


Rashford wasn't named in the United squad for their 4-2 victory over Newport County on Sunday, with the club saying he'd stayed behind at Carrington.

Yet Erik ten Hag suggested all wasn't well when he described the forward's situation as an 'internal matter'.

Rashford has arrived at United's Carrington training complex on Monday for crunch talks.

His brother, Dane, was also spotted driving into the club's base as they look to get to the bottom of the matter.

But United fans on social media seem to have grown tired of Rashford and want the club to sell the 26-year-old as a result of his latest actions.

"If United get a good offer for Rashford this summer then I would 100 per cent be selling him," said one user.

"He’s been given too many chances here."

A second said: "Should have sold him three seasons ago."

A third weighed in with: "It's simple, if Rashford doesn't want to be there sell him!!!"

"Rashford thinks he’s bigger than MUFC, he’s been underperforming for ages now. Time to sell him ASAP!" ranted a fourth.

"Zero excuses left for his pathetic attitude!"

A fifth opined: "Unless he changes his attitude I can’t see a future at United for Rashford let’s sell and make some money preferably to Spain!!!!!!"

And a sixth said: "I would sell Rashford if we get the right bid.

"He can be world class, but doesn’t suit us. He’s a great player, but doesn’t fit the system."

Reports have suggested Rashford is set to be fined two weeks' wages for his nights out in Belfast.

The forward has already been punished once this season, with Ten Hag coming down hard on the England international back in October.

Rashford went clubbing that month, shortly after his side lost 3-0 to fierce rivals Manchester City.

And where the 26-year-old goes from here remains to be seen, with his long-term United future in limbo.

Craig Burley, meanwhile, has fumed over Rashford on ESPN and feels the forward has become complacent ever since being given a bumper new deal back in the summer.

"I just don't get it with this Marcus Rashford guy," he said.

"Here we have a guy who's super talented, comes off his best season ever, gets this big new deal and it's clearly sitting on his laurels.

"You know what, 'I've got the money, I've got this new contract'. Because it's not just this incident.

"If you watch his performances this season doesn't track back, lack of end product, lack of interest.

"Then this is another headache that Ten Hag is going to have to deal with and this is, by far, not the first.

"I mean there's a list as long as your arm, of problematic players that he is having to deal with."
