Erik ten Hag has "sympathy" with Marcus Rashford but stressed he can "do better" amid his poor form for Manchester United.
Rashford quote-tweeted a supportive post from a fan account on Twitter at 12.36 am on Friday morning and wrote: "I appreciate your support! It is abuse and has been for months. Enough is enough."
The 26-year-old was booed by United supporters when he was substituted during the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley and Coventry players were staggered by his poor performance.
"I have a lot of sympathy for Rashy, of course," began the boss. "Last year, he had a brilliant season; I think the best in his career. I think it was 30 goals. We can see what he is capable of. "This season, he hasn't given the performances and people are very critical and I think we have to back him. Everyone should back him and should push him to get back to the levels he had last year.
"I think he needs the support," added Ten Hag. "We all know what he is capable of, so we have to support him, but we also have to push him because he can do better than he is doing this year. We have seen last year, where he was really brilliant."
