Marcus Rashford, Manchester United’s star player, was seen out in Cheshire on Tuesday, just two days after his team’s devastating 7-0 loss to Liverpool. Despite the defeat, Rashford was spotted shopping at Prestons, a luxury jewellery shop known for its high-end watches, before getting back into his McLaren 765LT.
Photographers captured Rashford in a casual attire, looking sombre as he quickly entered his £280,000 sports car after his shopping excursion. The forward played 85 minutes in the match against Liverpool, where United suffered a heavy defeat with goals from Roberto Firmino, Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, and Mohamed Salah sealing the victory for the Reds.
During the game, Rashford couldn’t add to his impressive tally of 14 Premier League goals for the season. Post-match, criticism was directed at Rashford’s teammates, including captain Bruno Fernandes, for their body language and attitude on the field. It was also noted that Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez appeared to mock Rashford’s signature celebration by placing his index finger to his temple after scoring against United.
Rashford’s celebration, which involves the same gesture, has been widely recognized and replicated globally by figures like Novak Djokovic, Jofra Archer, Jadon Sancho, and Bukayo Saka. The gesture symbolizes blocking out distractions and maintaining mental toughness, a theme highlighted by Sportsmail in previous reports.
