“Players in His Position Have Been Hammered” – Marcus Rashford Told to Learn From Jadon Sancho & Mason Greenwood by Rio Ferdinand

After finishing in the top four under Erik Ten Hag in the last season, Manchester United is having an underwhelming season currently. One reason behind it has been the misfiring Marcus Rashford. To make matters worse, he has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. Amid the controversy, he has been warned to improve his conduct by Red Devils legend Rio Ferdinand.

The Premier League giants also do not have the budget to sign a forward this January transfer window. Hence, the Dutch tactician must get his star player back on the right path. As for Rashford, he got his party jacket on!

Manchester United avoided a banana slip in the FA Cup as they defeated Newport County 4-2. However, the focus remained on the absence of star player Marcus Rashford. In the press conference before the game, Erik Ten Hag had announced that the England international would miss the game because of illness. But later, photos of him partying in Belfast were leaked, which became contradictory to his claims of falling sick. Amid the partying episode, Rio Ferdinand has warned him. He stated, “Players in his position have been hammered by the club. One’s gone out to Dortmund on loan. One’s not at the club anymore and one was on mad charge or accusation. There’s a lot of noise around the club. You’re one of the experienced players now. Keep that noise down.”

Notably, Ferdinand referred to Jadon Sancho, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Mason Greenwood. Rio Ferdinand also made the point that Rashford needs to realize that he is one of the leaders in the squad. The 45-year-old further added that the 26-year-old crossed all the limits set by the Dutch manager. Hence, he now needs to work to improve to earn the trust of Erik Ten Hag.

There is no doubt that several fans will keep an eye on how the situation develops. As far as the club and manager are concerned, they have already started taking action on the issue.
