Marcus Rashford has insisted it is 'nonsense' to suggest Manchester United gave up during the second half of their 7-0 defeat to Liverpool.
Erik ten Hag's side were thrashed by their arch-rivals at Anfield on Sunday after conceding six second half goals.
This led to significant criticism from fans and pundits alike that United completely folded in the second half. something the England forward hit back at.
He said: 'We didn't give up, that's nonsense. Organisation was bad, yeah, that's why we conceded the goals.
'I believe everybody was trying to get back into the game that much we came away from the team's principles in and out of possession.
'Our attack wasn't connected with midfield and the same with the midfield and defence.
'We tried to get a grip then it was 2-0, 3-0. We were talking but not in agreement of what to do.
'The only thing we can do is learn from it. I'm happy we have another game so quickly.'
The Reds tore Erik ten Hag's side apart in one of the Premier League's most remarkable results of all-time after Cody Gakpo had put them one-up at half-time.
Gakpo, Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez all scored twice before Roberto Firmino added a seventh late-on, as United's organisational structure seemed to disappear.
Gary Neville - a huge advocate of Ten Hag's management - was one of several former United players to tear into the team.
He said post-match: ''He’s dealt with set backs Erik ten Hag, this is a big one. They’ve gone to pieces in this second half.
'They've lost their shape, they’ve lost their discipline, they’ve lost their heads. I never had them down as title winners, I think it’s a miracle Ten hag has got them where he has. This is out of character for this team.
'This is really bad today, its a sore one but, I think it is a bad one,' he added.

But sincerely that our white away kit has rubbed some bad luck on our team this season! We've lost against Arsenal, Liverpool, Aston villa with that kit and we drew with Crystal palace with the kit too. We struggle to win with the kit. ,😥😕😮💨
each time you beat us too, in preseason and at old Trafford, we were also wearing our awful white away kit. I still hate it bcos we lost more games in it than we won

I'm not mocking but sometimes these things separate the wheat from the chaff. Your next game is key, those who bounce back and perform are of strong character and are invested but those who underperform or hide are a liability to the team. As the great Dr Dre says, when I'm close to defeat, I rise to my feet

Rashford must shut up.. He is the biggest culprit.. Talks too much. He is in denial. He doest track back n hardly makes any recoveries.. He thinks he scores n his job is done. Kane Salahn most strikers help their team. Rashford think he is bigger than the club.. He did the same talking when he played under ogs. Promised us to watch the next game n it happened again. He should hang his head in shame. He let us down
Off course, not only lie but also not fair. You can't cast him for just a bad game. Everyone has weakness, as a family we tell each and encourage them. He doesn't think he is better than the team. When he scores and win you what would you guys do/say?

liverpool could say the same thing too,because you defeated us 2-1in our white kit and lost to others in it or played badly and I'm sure if we said that you would be the first one laughing us to scorn and say silly excuses so wats up wit that..😂😂😂,the thing is,yall jus dont want to face reality so every United fans find a different conspiracy theory as to why they lost,they were jus simply outplayed by a better team on the day,the closest to a fully fit fully strength team that they never met all season,the heavy metal football the intensity, more clinical finishing proper defense by the twin towers etc,its typical liverpool football that drop 9mil on United last season its nothing new or strange

As the adage goes..." Actions speaks louder than words"...I feel the need to comment even though I refrain from commenting most times...But I simply have to ! They did give up...Have a look at the Dr one half again...I suppose a kid telling mom" I didn't do it...but the evidence is clear as day. So in a damned nutshell...This was worse than what happen to Arsenal in the champions league vs Byern or even worse that the 8-2 hiding you lot gave us ....So there...my 2 cents
did they just stand up and let liverpool score?don't you see Martinez had to be put on his face to eat grass,sent to Argentina and back, bamboozled, destroyed etc in order to beat him then scored ,mctomminay was in the goal behind the keeper to try stop the 7th goal,a magnificent square from hendo on Nunez head da hae had to jus watch box was filled with United players wen elliot found Nunez head, Robertson made that devastating world class pass to gakpo dissecting the entire United backline and on top of that the skill and composure of gakpo he had to cut inside beating one defender den here comes another Martinez trying to help out an had the taught to place the ball exactly where he was running from that's jus class,they were jus outclassed on the day,United would never giv liverpool nothing free,yall jus finding excuses for liverpool's devastating heavy metal football

Yeah, you've hit the nail on the head. The main thing wrong with that match was the Manchester United kit. Good work.

you are telling me that United didn't gave up and they got 7, then if they had given up how much would they have gotten 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
jus imagin, I'm sure they didn't jus stand and let liverpool score they were on the brink of getting red cards bcuz of dirty tackles they were let off a lot by the referee because they were committing fouls every chance they get hands in liverpool's players face and not even a freekick liverpool got wen we kno that as yellow card offense so I don't kno how they gave up,they were simply over run and outplayed by a machine thats just getting warmed up,with liverpool never been able to field a full strength team from the season start this is the closest to a fit full strength liverpool team

exactly rashford you didnt gave up as some liverpool haters and United apologist would want people to think,United was jus beaten and bamboozled by a much better team on the night,talk were simply outplayed bcuz it's hard to find any team that can beat liverpool wen they get everything right and that's wat happened, it was liverpool at best,football's finest,so yall just enjoy the total heavy metal football and stop finding excuses, it's like a Corvette racing a Toyota..😂😂😁😂
