Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford has been criticized by Alan Shearer, who accused the forward of “wasting his talent” after missing the FA Cup tie with Newport, according to GOAL.
Coach Erik ten Hag cited “illness” as the reason for the absence, but also hinted at potential problems, saying it was an “internal matter”.Rashford missed training in midweek after being spotted wandering around a Belfast nightclub with friend and former academy team-mate Roshon Williams.
The nightclub incident sparked controversy in Manchester as Rashford returned to England on a private jet. Shearer expressed concern about the 26-year-old’s behavior and said strong supervision was needed. The former England striker told BBC Sport: “Marcus Rashford has a lot of talent. I saw him disciplined last season for being late to a pre-game meeting.
But something is wrong, both at home and in his dealings with the football club. Shearer urged Rashford to resolve the situation quickly, stressing the regret he will face at the end of his career if his behavior continues. Marcus Rashford, who signed a new contract after an impressive 30-goal season, has struggled to maintain that form.
Shearer, who has scored just four goals this season, believes Rashford is unlucky and is urging him to calm down. The striker’s form at the club could affect his chances at Euro 2024, so it will be important to determine when Ten Haag returns to United.
