Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has announced that he will be stepping away from social media for a few weeks following a challenging season. The announcement was made in a post on X, formerly Twitter. Rashford shared that he needs time to rest and reset mentally after the ups and downs he faced individually and as a part of the team.

Rashford emphasized the unity at Manchester United, stating, “It's time to come off Socials for a few weeks. I plan to rest and reset mentally after a challenging season, individually and collectively. Thanks to the fans that stood by me through a difficult period. To the ones that didn’t, just remember at United, we always stick together.”

Rashford's Impact on Manchester United's Season

Despite the season's challenges, Rashford played a significant role in Manchester United's recent success. After missing a few games due to injury, he started in the FA Cup final, his first start since the semi-final victory over Coventry on April 21.

In the FA Cup final, Manchester United achieved a remarkable 2-1 victory over Manchester City at Wembley. Rashford was instrumental in this win, contributing to the team's performance. With United leading 1-0, Rashford made a brilliant pass to Alejandro Garnacho, who then set up Bruno Fernandes to assist Kobbie Mainoo for the second goal. This goal put United in a strong position before halftime.

Although Jeremy Doku scored a late goal for Manchester City, Manchester United secured the victory. This win was particularly emotional for Rashford, who was seen in tears at the final whistle. The season, marked by many difficulties, ended on a high note with this significant win. Captain Bruno Fernandes also showed his emotions while discussing Erik ten Hag's future at full-time.

The Manchester United players and staff celebrated in the dressing room after the FA Cup triumph. Videos shared on the club's official Instagram account showed Rashford smiling, jumping up and down, and singing along with teammate Lisandro Martinez, much to the delight of supporters.

Amid the celebrations, there have been rumors about Rashford's future at Manchester United. While he has been linked with a possible move to Paris Saint-Germain, many fans and supporters call for him to stay. Despite his omission from Gareth Southgate's provisional 33-man squad for Euro 2024, this break allows Rashford to rest and prepare for the next campaign with Manchester United.

As Rashford takes this time to recover, fans remain hopeful that he will return stronger and more determined than ever. His contributions on the field and his dedication to the team have made him a beloved figure at Manchester United. With the upcoming season on the horizon, supporters are eager to see Rashford back in action, ready to make an even bigger impact.
