Marcus Rashford has broken his silence following Ruben Amorim's brutal comments after Manchester United's win over Fulham.
A late goal from defender Lisandro Martinez secured a crucial win for Manchester United during their match against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday evening.
Amid ongoing rumours that he will leave United this month, star winger Rashford was once again left out of the matchday squad for the game, and was later seemingly criticised by manager Amorim post-match.
Now, Rashford appears to have finally responded to the result and the Portuguese manager's comments.

Rashford has not made an appearance for United since he confirmed that he was looking to take on a new challenge during an interview with Henry Winter, with his last game being the 2-1 away win over Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League on December 12.
However, his lack of minutes nor the fact that he has clearly fallen out of favour with Amorim, both professionally and personally, has not stopped Rashford from showing support for his boyhood club both in person and online.
Therefore, after the massive late win on Sunday, Rashford took to his Instagram story, writing: "Congratulations on the win lads".
While it is possible that the 27-year-old's social media post may have only been to congratulate his teammates, some have also theorised that the blunt message combined with the very simple black background could suggest that Rashford is also reacting to his manager's comments post-match.
Immediately after the game, Amorim was asked why Rashford was not available for selection, and he responded by suggesting that he would rather pick United's 63-year-old goalkeeping coach for the bench due to Rashford's lack of effort in training.
"It's always the same reason - the training, the way I see a footballer should do in life. It's every day, every detail," said Amorim.
"If things don't change, I will not change. It's the same situation for every player, if you do the maximum and right things we can use every player.
"You can see on the bench we miss a bit of pace on the bench, but I would put [Manchester United goalkeeper coach Jorge] Vital before a player who doesn't give the maximum every day."
