Former Manchester United favourite Gary Neville has given his verdict on Marcus Rashford's controversial decision to attend a birthday party after losing the Manchester derby
Gary Neville believes Marcus Rashford 's decision to attend a birthday bash after last weekend's Manchester derby was "a mistake" but refused to stick the boot in.
As a club icon with over 600 appearances to his name, Neville knows all about the pressures of being in the public eye as a United player. And while he quipped that Rashford should have dropped him an invite to the bash - which took place at a venue close to Neville's house - he felt that the striker should have known better than to proceed with the party.
"You'd be bumping into people who have paid big money to watch the team play and they don't want to see you really enjoying yourselves and celebrating, it's an optics thing. So, I'm all for lads enjoying their lives and getting on with their lives but maybe thats just a night to sort of have a takeaway, maybe a glass of wine, bring your friends round to your house.
"I think going to Chinawhite - which to be fair is only about 100 yards from where I live so he should have invited me by the way, I'd have come round and popped out - I genuinely think the wisest thing would have been to stay in."
