“Can we have your week’s wages” – Twitter in stitches over HILARIOUS demand for Marcus Rashford’s weekly WAGES by Newport fans

Newport fans took a playful jibe at Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford, by demanding his weekly wages during their match against the Red Devils in the FA Cup. The fans held out a poster making their demands to Rashford, who missed the match.

Marcus Rashford stayed back in Manchester, missing out on the club’s fourth-round FA Cup match against Newport Country, due to an illness. The 26-year-old forward missed the club’s training session earlier this week due to sickness, following a nightclub party in Belfast. The Englishman, who is currently recovering, has faced criticism for a lack of goals this season and has scored only four goals in 26 appearances for the Red Devils.

Newport fans did not shy away from their criticism of the Englishman, as they held up a sign that read that they wanted to have Rashford’s weekly wages, which amount to around £320,000 per week. The forward had recently signed a new contract with the club, which is set to keep him at United for the next few years. The Newport fans who held out the sign lamenting Rashford, foresee potential punishment or fines for the player.

In his pre-match press conference on Friday, United manager Erik ten Hag remained cautious and did not provide extensive details about Rashford’s illness. Even in Rashford’s absence, United won the match with a 4-2 scoreline, with goals scored by Hojlund, Antony, captain Bruno, and Kobbie Mainoo.
