“The match was robbed. The referee should be banned from officiating. We could have won the match. Marcus Rashford wss one on one when Kyle Walker dragged him down which was meant to be a red but the referee did nothing”-Fans furious at what the did to Man Utd playerpĺplĺlpp before Phil Foden’s screamer.

The atmosphere on social media surged with outrage as Marcus Rashford’s actions just before Phil Foden’s pivotal equalizer in the Manchester derby ignited controversy.
In the 55th minute of the game, Foden executed a breathtaking maneuver, skillfully evading Victor Lindelof to launch a powerful shot into the top right corner from outside the penalty area, thereby leveling the score at 1-1.
In the wake of Foden’s spectacular goal, fans swarmed onto various platforms such as X (formerly known as Twitter) to scrutinize Rashford’s actions. Just moments prior to Foden’s sensational strike, Rashford had an opportunity to make a forward advance towards City’s goal, but his efforts were thwarted by Kyle Walker. Despite Rashford’s pleas for a foul, the play persisted.
On social media, Rashford faced a barrage of criticism for failing to capitalize on the chance to extend United’s lead. One user expressed disappointment, stating, “Rashford is letting everyone down. He’s given opportunities but fails to seize them.”
Another commentator remarked, “Since that stunning goal, #Rashford has been invisible. He fell before Foden (who’s been exceptional) scored his wonder goal.”
A third user opined, “Rashford should be ashamed for seeking a cheap free kick.”
A fourth observer noted, “No, Rashford lacked determination. He had the speed to beat Walker but hesitated.”
However, Manchester United manager Ten Hag empathized with Rashford’s predicament. The Dutchman exhibited frustration by hurling a water bottle to the ground after Rashford was not granted a free kick.
Earlier in the game, Rashford had scored a sensational goal to give United the lead. Bruno Fernandes set up the opportunity, and Rashford unleashed a first-time shot from approximately 25 yards, rattling it off the crossbar and into the net.
