Fans in disbelief at what Marcus Rashford did during Bodo/Glimt win as damning pitchside footage emerges

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has come under fire from fans over footage from Thursday night's victory over Bodo/Glimt.

Ruben Amorim secured his first win as United head coach after narrowly avoiding a major upset in the Europa League.

His side had to come from behind to beat the Norwegian club 3-2 at Old Trafford in Amorim's first home match in charge, with Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund (2) scoring the goals.

Rashford started the match on the bench but was introduced around the hour mark, with the England international brought on to replace Mason Mount.

Footage of that substitution has since gone viral on social media after United fans picked up on Rashford's behaviour during the tactical switch.

The 27-year-old was spotted throwing his gloves to the ground rather than handing them to one of United's coaching staff, who was stood just yards away.

The staff member was twice forced to bend down and pick up Rashford's gloves and some United fans were unhappy with the forward's conduct.

"Poor bloke picking his gloves off the floor when he's stood arm's length away," posted one fan on X.

"Who does he think he is? Maybe I'm out of touch here but that's just literal basics surely?"

Another added: "A lot of players do stuff like this it's embarrassing, not just picking on Rashford but how out of touch and self-centred do you have to be to do something like that no respect for a colleague."

However, others were quick to defend Rashford from criticism, claiming it is a common occurrence when players are preparing to enter the field of play.

"This might be the most nothing video ever. Anything to hate on Rashford," posted one supporter.

While another added: "Stop trying to make something out of nothing."

Earlier this year, Rashford claimed he is judged more harshly than other footballers and suggested there is 'a tone' to reporting of his behaviour, particularly on issues away from the football pitch.

In a first-person piece for the Players' Tribune website entitled 'Who I really am', Rashford wrote: "It can't just be about me as a 26-year-old lad on a night out, or a lad getting a parking ticket.

"It's got to be about how much my car costs, guessing my weekly salary, my jewellery or even my tattoos. It's got to be about my body language and questioning my morals and speculating about my family and my football future. There's a tone in it that you don't get with all footballers.

"Let's just leave it at that."

Rashford made a flying start to life under new head coach Amorim last weekend, scoring the opening goal in their Premier League clash with Ipswich after just two minutes.

But the Red Devils were unable to hold on to their lead and eventually drew the match 1-1 at Portman Road.

United next face Everton at Old Trafford in the league on Sunday, with Rashford expected to start up front for the home side.

United are currently 12^th in the Premier League, already 15 points behind league leaders Liverpool after just 12 games, and Rashford will need to rediscover his best form this season if the club are to push for the European places.
