Marcus Rashford has been criticised by football fans after throwing his gloves on the floor prior to coming on in Manchester United's 3-2 win over Bodo/Glimt on Thursday night.
The Red Devils won the tight contest at Old Trafford following a brace from Rasmus Hojlund, with Alejandro Garnacho also on target.
Rashford was benched for the clash, just days after he'd scored in a 1-1 draw with Ipswich.
Prior to coming on, Ruben Amorim appeared to instruct the 27-year-old not to wear gloves.

Despite a staff member standing behind him, Rashford hastily threw them to the floor - rather than waiting to hand them over.
And some fans on social media have criticised the England international for his behaviour, with one user saying: "Should be docked wages. Poor bloke picking his gloves off the floor when he’s stood arms length away.
"Who does he think he is? Maybe I’m out of touch here but that’s just literal basics surely?"
A second blasted Rashford by saying: "It costs nothing to treat people with respect."

A third said: "That just smells of an entitled culture and something that has been highlighted as an issue at Utd multiple times over last few years, particularly by Ronaldo when he was there.
"Amorim needs to stamp it out quickly, might seem minor but it stems from a bigger culture issue."
A fourth criticised by Rashford by saying: "Basic manners. Horrible from Marcus."
And a fifth slammed the forward by saying: "Just respect, younger players years ago had to clean senior members’ boots.

"All on the same team… [Sir Alex] Ferguson would be fuming if he saw behaviour like this."
Others, however, have been quick to defend Rashford.
One said: "Stop trying to make something out of nothing. Should Salah be docked a weeks wages for calling out his owners unnecessarily?"
Another defended him by saying: "This might be the most nothing video ever."

A third said: "As a kitman players usually do things like this.
"They will put gloves on floor or put tracksuit bottoms/jumpers even coats.
"When they get told they are coming on, they have to be quick and fast. Managers/coaches will want to give them instructions or tactics before they go on."
And a fourth defended him by saying: "I’m pretty sure he just was putting the gloves on the floor he clearly didn’t see the guy was picking it up."

While Rashford is a divisive figure for United at times, he remains undeniably crucial for Amorim.
He has bagged five goals already this season, just three less than the eight he managed under Erik ten Hag last term.
