Marcus Rashford faced criticism for his social media post after "Manchester United" defeated "Manchester City" in the derby.

Marcus Rashford has been labeled "an utter embarrassment to himself and "Manchester United" over his social media post following their victory over "Manchester City" at the Etihad.

Rashford watched as his team scored two late goals to turn the Manchester derby around having been dropped by new manager Ruben Amorim, alongside Alejandro Garnacho, who was also left out of the squad.

Amad Diallo was the standout performer, drawing the penalty converted by Bruno Fernandes to equalize after Josko Gvardiol put Pep Guardiola’s side ahead, before deftly maneuvering past Ederson and scoring from a sharp angle to secure all three points.

Rashford took to Instagram to voice his joy over United's win, writing 'Yesssssss! Love it lads' with two heart emojis. Hardly something to find fault with, surely?

Not if you're ESPN's Craig Burley, who is extremely annoyed. He told ESPN FC: "For Rashford to be posting on Instagram while his colleagues grind out a victory in his absence due to alleged attitude issues is frankly ridiculous. He should remain off social media, humiliated for not being at the Etihad to contribute."

Roy Keane was somewhat gentler in his assessment, suggesting Rashford should consider leaving the club. He told Sky Sports: "We'll see how they react to this disappointment of exclusion. It was a strong stance by the manager... perhaps moving could benefit Marcus. He's been at the club a long time, a fresh challenge might do him good."
