Nike drop Marcus Rashford blunder with 'Mark' poster featuring Manchester United star

Sport's brand Nike have dropped a clanger involving Manchester United's Marcus Rashford at their American headquarters in Oregon.

In an advertisement around their facility, the United attacker has been celebrated with his own banner but the glaring error from the manufacturer sees the 24-year-old called 'Mark Rashford'.

Fans on Reddit were quick to point out the mistake and spotted that the picture used also features the logo of competitor Adidas, who signed a deal worth £750m to manufacture the United kits in 2014.

It isn't the first clanger that the Reds have been involved with. After Adidas signed their mega-money deal with the club, in promoting their leisurewear, the model could be seen wearing a United jacket accompanied by Premier League rivals Chelsea-branded pants.

Rashford has been a Nike athlete for more than a decade, signing his first deal with the giant when he was just 11 years old and extended their partnership in 2021.

In a topsy-turvy season for United, the winger has struggled to hit the heights he has previously set and has come under-fire for his displays in recent months. Despite the downturn in form, interim manager Ralf Rangnick has been defiant in his response to Rashford coming under the microscope.

He told ManUtd.com : "With Marcus Rashford, we have another player [who I have] continuously been behind and [will work] with, to develop him.

"We have seen that with other players in the past and I don’t see why this shouldn’t happen with Marcus. He’s got abundant talent, he’s got the pace, the physicality. He’s got everything you need for a modern striker, not only if he is playing from the wing or in the centre."
