Former footballer Alan Shearer has lashed out at Marcus Rashford following his latest transgression, which saw him disciplined by coach Erik ten Hag. The former Newcastle United star suggests the talented forward is not living up to his full potential.
The English international has had trouble finding his best form this year, which was also contributed to by Manchester United’s lackluster performances.
As reported by Pulse Sport, Marcus Rashford missed his team’s training after two wasted nights in Belfast, exposing him to huge criticism from management. He was supposed to have told the coach he was ill, but the day before his planned day off he was caught in Lavery’s bar.
According to reports in The Sun, the 26-year-old striker traveled to Northern Ireland to visit his friend and former academy teammate Ro-Shaun Williams, who recently signed for Larne FC.
Subsequently, he did not participate in the FA Cup match, in which the “red devils” played against Newport. Erik ten Hag declined to elaborate on the decision, calling it an internal matter and citing disciplinary measures.
The legendary Newcastle United footballer also commented on the situation, who is convinced that the Manchester United star should change his approach. “If there is such a problem, there must be something going on. Marcus Rashford is a huge talent, but he was also disciplined last season for being late to a pre-match meeting. It is clear that something is wrong – either in his life or in his relationship with the football club.
He can’t go on like this, it’s not right that he’s wasting his talent like this. He needs strong leadership, someone to tell him that at the end of the season he will regret it badly. When I see him play, it’s like he has the world on his shoulders. It needs to be resolved as soon as possible,” said Alan Shearer in an interview for BBC television.
