For Manchester United, Marcus Rashford will be taking a vacation from his internet activities during the off-season. The forward, who now has a busy summer ahead of him, assisted his team in winning the FA Cup on Saturday.

Kobbie Mainoo’s pivotal second goal at Wembley was made possible by Rashford, who concluded a difficult season in a positive note. In Erik ten Hag’s second season in command, he only scored seven goals in the Premier League, and he received criticism for his play from fans and on social media.

Not too long ago, on X, the old name for Twitter, he stood up to taunts from some fans on the field during the FA Cup semi-final penalty shootout victory over Coventry City. He is now entering the game strong, having won his sixth major title with his boyhood team.

Rashford stated in an online post: “It’s time to take a few weeks off from social media. I want to take some time to recover psychologically from a trying season, both personally and as a group. I’m grateful to my fans for supporting me during a trying time. We always stick together at United, for those of you who didn’t just recall. [prayer hands emoji].”

After the FA Cup victory over Manchester City, he shared an equally bold statement on social media. “People want to know what Man Utd means to me! [red heart emoji].” Alongside the statement, he included a photo of himself during the festivities, crying and clapping supporters.

Despite having only signed a new deal in August, Rashford has been connected to a summertime move away from Old Trafford. Ten Hag’s job as head coach is in doubt, and this is the first transfer window that Ineos and Sir Jim Ratcliffe will have sports authority over.

Returning Rashford to his peak is just one of several things that United must accomplish in the upcoming months. He is not going to an international competition with his country, unlike some of his teammates, since he was left out of Gareth Southgate’s preliminary 33-man selection for Euro 2024.

After a break, Rashford will have plenty of time to get ready for the upcoming campaign.
