Marcus Rashford rebukes media for spreading false claims about his Manchester United career after nightclub visit post-derby loss.

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has publicly called out a media outlet, urging them to cease the dissemination of what he terms 'malicious rumours' regarding his future with the club.

The plea comes on the heels of a whirlwind of media scrutiny following his recent activities off the pitch.

The England international faced a wave of criticism from his club manager, Erik ten Hag, after being spotted at a nightclub post the disheartening 3-0 defeat to Manchester City in the derby at Old Trafford.

The situation was compounded when Rashford was notably absent from the squad that clinched a 1-0 victory over Fulham, having failed a late fitness test due to a training injury.

Complicating matters, Rashford was seen at Chinawhite, a renowned nightclub, where he had planned a celebration for his 26th birthday.

This sequence of events stirred up speculation from The United Stand, a fan channel, about the striker's tenure at Manchester United being potentially at risk.

In a pointed response to a tweet that hinted at the content of the fan channel's impending live stream, Rashford made his feelings clear.

"Please STOP spreading malicious rumours," he stated, expressing his frustration over the unfounded narratives being woven around his career and personal life.

The speculation around Rashford's future adds another layer to what has been a turbulent season for Manchester United.

Despite the club's attempts to regain its footing under new management, off-field dramas continue to distract from their on-field endeavors.
