Marcus Rashford

was supported after being confronted with

’s angry fans and Ian Wright told the forward “don’t be f*cking sorry” for standing up to those who abused you.

The England international answered to the comments he receives as he is having a hard time finding his best form, issuing a statement on social media saying his actions had been “silly” and he should have turned a deaf ear to detractors.

Former striker Wright thinks the United winger had the right to hit back at those who abused him, with the

legend posting a video on his Twitter:  

“Somebody just sent me the Marcus Rashford video where he confronted fans, because the fans were digging him out and he offered one of them out.

“I don’t know who is doing it, doing this apologising for him, who the f*ck is apologising for that?

“People are so quick to say ‘oh, sorry’ and that is what gives these fans that feel that they can dig people out.

“Marcus, stand your ground, bro. You got people jumping on and saying ‘Marcus is so sorry’. Don’t be f*cking sorry for that, bro.

“Some of those fans love giving it but can’t take it. You just do your stuff, get back to where you need to be when you are playing. F*ck them fans.”

The 2021-22 season is a tough one for Rashford, with a slow start to the season as he was left with an injury that had him score only five goals.

, the 24-year-old posted on Twitter

: "A video can paint a thousand words and in this case lead to inaccurate info being shared on social media.

"Guys, for weeks I've been heckled, threatened, questioned and last night my emotion got the better of me. I'm a human being. Reading and hearing that stuff about yourself every day it wears you down.

"No one is more critical of my performance than me. But what you see in this video lacks context.

"I had been heckled from the minute I stepped foot outside the ground, abuse not just aimed at my football.

"People were looking for a reaction from me. Phones were at the ready. Of course I should have walked straight past and ignored it, that's what we're supposed to do, right?

"I want to clarify two things. The first being what I actually said to the man throwing abuse at me which was: "Come over here and say it to my face" (a fact security can back me up) and secondly, the fact I used my forefinger to direct the fan to: 'Come over and say it to my face'.

"I did not gesture with my middle finger. I'm not entitled. This isn't ego. I'm upset. I'm disappointed. And in that moment it was silly but I was being human."
