Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has taken to social media to hit back at allegations of a fractured dressing room at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils clung on to a 1-0 lead against 10 man Brighton, before eventually finding a second deep into stoppage time, to come away with their first win in four and lift them up into 4th place, although they have played more games than three of the teams around them.

But that does not mean that it is all plain sailing in the north west. Reports have repeatedly suggested that Rangnicks’s bond with his squad is not as strong as it perhaps could be, and that Ronaldo is unhappy to be working under the former Leipzig man, with even a few claims that the squad referred to their assistant manager as comedy character Ted Lasso.

Rashford hits back
Now, it appears as though Marcus Rashford has had enough.
Taking to social media, he took aim at one such claim that the dressing room was fractured, that of Christian Falk.
‘Are we just making it up as we go along now then?’, he asked, before asking the media to ‘stop looking for divides’ in the United squad.

It is the sort of rumour that finds fertile ground in poor performances, and so perhaps the best way to avert them is simply by winning games.
