London: Erik ten Hag said Friday he has a "lot of sympathy" for Marcus Rashford as the Manchester United manager demanded support for his misfiring forward.
The 26-year-old scored a career-high 30 goals last season and was rewarded with a new deal until 2028, but his form has since slumped dramatically.
Rashford has managed just eight goals in 40 appearances for his boyhood club during the current campaign and fans booed him in last Sunday's FA Cup semi-final win against Coventry.
The England international, writing in the Players' Tribune in February, said: "If you back me, good. If you doubt me, even better."
But responding to a post on X that called the treatment of Rashford "absolutely disgusting", "cruel" and "abuse", the United forward said: "I appreciate your support! It is abuse and has been for months. Enough is enough."
