Downing Rashford in the penalty area, Elanga was mocked

Welcoming Leicester City in the 31st round of the Premier League, Man Utd struggled to get a 1-1 draw. Kelechi Iheanacho scored the opening goal for the visitors in the 63rd minute, while Fred scored 3 minutes later, helping the Red Devils avoid a defeat.

Before Iheanacho and Fred scored, coach Rangnick sent Rashford to replace McTominay for fear that the Scotland international might get a red card. McTominay got a yellow card in the 49th minute.

On the pitch as a substitute, Rashford played actively but did not leave a big mark. Even Rashford and Elanga created a very funny situation.

In the 90+5 minute, after a 1-2 phase with Rashford in the penalty area, Elanga accidentally swung his leg to kick the English striker. The kick made Rashford quite painful, and at the same time was angry because the referee blew offside against MU in this situation.

Witnessing Elanga’s foul on Rashford, Man Utd’s NHM couldn’t help but express it on social media.

“Elanga’s foul on Rashford is the typical image for Man Utd this season. It’s sad”, a fan commented.

“Elanga should have been given a red card for fouling Rashford in the box,” another mocked the Swedish player.

“If Elanga didn’t touch the ball and was blown offside, then Rashford could have scored in this situation. Sadly,” another commented.

“This is not the first time MU players have fouled their own teammates this season. Don’t understand what is happening in our team,” a fan wrote.

Above are 4 out of hundreds of comments about Elanga’s tackle with Rashford in the Leicester City draw. The draw puts the Red Devils at risk of not being able to finish in the top 4. Currently, MU is 6th in the table with 3 points behind the fourth ranked team Arsenal, but kicks 2 more matches than the opponent.
