Why Rashford Should Be ‘Banished’ From Man Utd Dressing Room – Scholes

Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes has criticized out-of-form Marcus Rashford, saying he has let down his teammates and should be “banished” from the dressing room.

Rashford, who has not played for United since December 12, has been excluded from the squad by manager Ruben Amorim for all matches except one, where he was an unused substitute.

Amorim hinted on Sunday that he would prefer to have 63-year-old goalkeeping coach Jorge Vital in his squad over the 27-year-old forward, citing concerns about Rashford’s lack of effort.

Scholes, who won 11 Premier League titles with United, voiced his strong opinion about Rashford during The Overlap Fan Debate.

“I think Marcus has let a lot of people down really, with his attitude, and I think that’s what the manager is trying to say,” he said.

“You think of the young players coming through the team, think of (Alejandro) Garnacho, they’re looking up to people like Marcus now — he’s 27 years of age, and he’s clearly not training properly.

“I remember years ago when I told the manager (Alex Ferguson) I didn’t want to play in that Arsenal game… he said to me ‘The worst thing you did is let your team-mates down’, and that really stuck with me because I wasn’t really thinking about that — and now I think Marcus Rashford, he’s doing exactly the same.

“OK, he’s not refusing to play, but in the way he’s behaving and the way he’s training, in a way he is saying I don’t want to be involved with these.

“So I think the fact of letting your team-mates down in that dressing room — he should be banished from the dressing room really. If he’s in and around that and young people are seeing that as an example, the sooner he’s gone the better.”

Scholes’ comments came after similar strong remarks from former United defender Rio Ferdinand, who stated on the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast that there was “no way back” for Rashford following Amorim’s comments.

In December, Rashford expressed his readiness for a “new challenge” just two days after being dropped from the squad to face Manchester City.

Rashford has been linked with potential moves to Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund, and AC Milan during the January transfer window. He has scored 138 goals in 426 appearances for United.

However, any transfer could be complicated due to Rashford’s reportedly £300,000-a-week ($374,000) salary and his contract, which runs until 2028.
