Paul Scholes, a former player for Manchester United, has criticized Marcus Rashford after manager Erik ten Hag benched him for the Red Devils’ Premier League match against Wolves on Saturday due to a “internal disciplinary issue.”
Rashford scored the first goal in Man United’s 3-0 Premier League victory against Nottingham Forest on Tuesday, and he was predicted to start on Saturday against Wolves.
Before the game began, Ten Hag did, however, disclose that the England international’s substitution was a consequence of a conduct issue.
Speaking on the development, Scholes said that Rashford looked a bit miserable, adding that he is jeopardizing his own form.
“He’s jeopardizing his own form, really,” Scholes said of Rashford after Man United’s team against Wolves was announced on Saturday.
“Being stupid or whatever he’s done is wrong, the manager has seen it and he comes out of the team.
“But when the lad’s in such form, he has been so happy this season, you think of the last 18 months where he has looked miserable and he has not performed.
“Now, could this jeopardize him going forward? I hope not, he looks a bit miserable there [during the warm-up], he will do it because he is not playing. I hope it does not jeopardize the next six months of the season.”
