Marcus Rashford says he feels “embarrassed” over Manchester United's humiliating English Premier League 5-0 defeat to Liverpool but has vowed his teammates are working hard to rectify their unacceptable form.

A despondent Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s charges are still dealing with the fallout from the Liverpool defeat on Sunday.

Mohamed Salah scored a hat-trick as Liverpool romped to a stunning victory at Old Trafford, with the Red Devils slipping to seventh spot after a fourth straight Premier League match without a victory.

Rashford took to social media to express his disappointment over the loss while asking for forgiveness from Manchester United’s faithfuls.

“I can’t lie you haven’t heard from me on here because as a United fan I didn’t really know what to say after Sunday,” he said.

“I was embarrassed. I am embarrassed. Our fans are everything and you didn’t deserve that.

“We’re working hard to try and fix this. We have to redeem ourselves,” he said.

Rashford has urged his teammates to pick up the pieces as they prepare for another away fight against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
