Marcus Rashford's 2019 tweet resurfaced after Manchester United's 7-0 defeat to Liverpool, fans say it 'didn't age well'

Manchester United star Marcus Rashford has been brutally trolled after a 2019 tweet resurfaced following his side’s embarrassing defeat to Liverpool.

The Red Devils travelled to Anfield on Sunday and were humiliated at the hands of fierce rivals Liverpool, who scored six past United in the second half alone.

Former United target Cody Gakpo opened the scoring for Liverpool before half-time, with the Reds showing no mercy with their second-half performance.

Gakpo completed his brace for Liverpool after the break, with both Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah scoring two apiece against United.

Roberto Firmino, who is set to leave Liverpool at the end of the season, buried the Reds’ seventh of the match and sealed an emphatic win for Jurgen Klopp’s men.

Rashford, who has been on a remarkable goalscoring run since the end of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, struggled to make his mark against Liverpool at Anfield.

The 25-year-old United forward was pulled late in the second half by Red Devils manager Erik ten Hag and replaced with Anthony Elanga.

However, Rashford has now been ruthlessly mocked by rival fans after one of his old tweets remerged, with the England star captioning his post: “Who wants 7?”

The tweet also included a photo of Rashford raising his hand, with fans on social media suggesting it “didn’t age well” after United’s 7-0 defeat.

Speaking after the match, Ten Hag slammed United’s “unprofessional” performance against Liverpool and called it a “really bad, really poor” display.

“It is quite obvious, it was unprofessional. First half, I think we were the better team -- we created the better chances and had two one-on-ones with the goalie,” he said.

“Before half-time, we made one organisational mistake and conceded a goal. We were in the game. It really surprised me after half-time, we gave the game [away] so quickly.

“The first two goals were defensive transition moments, the first was a turnover and the second was a counter, bad decisions and decisions on the ball. How we conceded the goals is really annoying.

“The third was a counter with unprofessional decisions -- not following in, and then running in, moving forwards, giving space away in midfield, not tracking back.

“So then it is 3-0 and the game is lost, but as a team, you have to stick together. That is what we didn’t do.

“It is a surprise for me, I didn’t see this from my team. I don’t think it is us. I don’t think it is Manchester United. It was really bad, really poor.”
