Manchester United Legend Delivers Harsh Criticism of Rashford
Former Manchester United footballer Paul Scholes has not held back in criticizing Marcus Rashford’s attitude, as the forward recently hinted at the possibility of a transfer due to his frustration with his current situation at the club. Scholes, known for his bluntness, did not hesitate to weigh in on the young striker’s stance and his relationship with the new manager, Ruben Amorim.
The former Red Devils midfielder was very clear in expressing his disapproval of Rashford, who, according to Scholes, does not seem happy at the club. “It looks like his time at Manchester United is coming to an end. He doesn’t seem happy, the boy. Even when he scores, you wonder what’s wrong with him. Is he getting the support he needs off the field? We don’t know what’s going on,” Scholes commented in statements reported by Daily Mail. He also referred to previous incidents with former manager Erik ten Hag, noting that Rashford was involved in disciplinary issues, like being late to a meeting before a match against Wolves, which led to him being dropped from the team.
Scholes reflects on Rashford’s decline
The former Manchester United player lamented that Rashford has not been able to return to the form he showed two years ago, when he scored 30 goals in a stellar season. According to Scholes, that high-performance season was an exception, and since then, the forward’s performance has declined. “I hate to see local players leave, especially when they’re so talented. But the problem with Marcus is that he was so good two years ago, when he scored 30 goals, and he hasn’t been able to get back to that level. That’s why they’re moving him aside. He produced what was expected, and in the last 18 months, two years, he hasn’t been up to par,” explained the Champions League winner of 1999 and 2008.
Scholes’ analysis has only fueled further debate regarding Rashford’s situation at Manchester United, with many questioning whether the forward can regain his best form under Amorim. The relationship between player and coach remains tense, and Rashford’s future at the club may be at risk if he doesn’t manage to return to his previous level.
Is Rashford’s future up in the air?
With Rashford openly frustrated with his role in the team, Scholes’s comments only add more pressure on the young forward. Many Manchester United fans and football experts hope that Rashford will find his way, either within the club or elsewhere, as his talent is undeniable, but his recent performances have not lived up to expectations.
The situation of Marcus Rashford remains one of the most discussed topics at Manchester United, and it seems likely to continue to be a focal point, both for his immediate future and his relationship with his coach.
