I know several people who regularly deal with the United and City players on a regular basis eg in airport lounges etc.
The feedback is the same throughout - the city players are polite, pleasant and engaging whereas the United players are - with a couple of exceptions - arrogant, unpleasant and standoffish. Far from being an exception, Rashford is often used as an example.
This is just another example. Too many of our players think they're too important to say please and thank you. They're too important to give the fans 30 seconds of their precious time. Hell, some of them are too important to even give their all for their manager.
I don't doubt Rashford is going through a tough time and I hope the club is helping him through it; but there's no excuse for this. Manners and courtesy cost nothing, and should be a prerequisite for anyone, let alone someone like Rashford who is living an incredibly privileged existence, paid for in part by the fans he was abusing.
The reaction by the PR team has made matters worse. His team sending press releases out linking him with our rivals has poured further fuel on the flames. It even seems like his political work is for himself rather than the disadvantaged in society nowadays.
I'm happy to keep supporting Rashford on the pitch - hard as it is to keep doing so given his performances - but he, and quite a few others need to take a good hard look in the mirror, and reacquaint themselves with some basic manners and courtesy.
