Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford was criticised by manager Erik ten Hag after he was seen in a nightclub following the club's 3-0 defeat to rivals Man City
Gary Neville says Marcus Rashford made a "mistake" by publicly celebrating his birthday following Manchester United's harrowing derby defeat last month.
The player was then left out of Saturday's 1-0 win over Fulham, although Ten Hag himself insisted this was due to an injury issue and not disciplinary action. Still, speculation over the forward's career at Old Trafford is now rife - despite Rashford signing a new contract earlier this year - with fan channel The United Stand questioning his future on Monday.
"If we lost a match, any match, forget about the Manchester derby where we wouldn't be seen for a week or two weeks, but if we lost a match, nights out were cancelled," he wrote in his Sky Sports column. "Simple as that. That was my rule and the rule for the other lads in the dressing room. Rashford's birthday celebrations also came just three days before United hosted Newcastle in the Carabao Cup, a game the defending champions lost 3-0. Neville also added Rashford had not undertaken the "wisest decision" in terms of his preparation for the clash.
