Exclusive: Paul Parker Launches Rant On Marcus Rashford

Marcus Rashford has been in the media’s searchlight recently, after he reported ill for training despite being seen clubbing in Belfast the night before. Paul Parker shares his thoughts on the incident and brings a bold claim on Rashford’s future.

As we all know, there are social media and cameras everywhere, which might have been a disadvantage for Rashford, as he was filmed partying in Belfast, despite not being available for training due to illness.

We spoke to former Man United defender Paul Parker, who is anything but impressed with the high profile winger, even claiming something must be wrong with him, just as he opens up for the Man United star finding a new club.

‘I’m fed up with Rashford’

Many supporters have been critical of Rashford’s performances this season, and the latest incident might be the last nail in the coffin for the supporters who were still backing him, according to Parker.

“I’m fed up with Rashford to be honest. What were I thinking? I was shocked. You have to be shocked, really. On the other hand you shouldn’t be shocked because that’s just what he does.

“He is a local boy and everyone is expecting him to behave better. He is just carrying on what he has done for a lot of years.

“He was given an incredible contract and now he is just enjoying his life. He was at a good level during the pandemic but he has ruined everything now. People were still backing him but the majority are just fed up with him now.”

Parker continues by saying his general attitude doesn’t help the Englishman and he urges him to get some better people to advice him.

“Maybe if he was being more smiley, that could have helped him. But his attitude just makes it even worse. It’s a joke that he even took a private jet back from Ireland: An absolute joke.

“I think he has to look at the people he has around him. Have they helped him? Not really. He is surrounded by the wrong people and he is not working with a proper company. He is working with his family and they are not good at helping him.

“He has a huge status and he should be near the top of the tree right now, but he has never been managed properly.

“He is one of those persons who can’t think on his own, so he has to be dictated and he has been dictated in a wrong direction, really.

“Look at Ronaldinho and Neymar, who were managed by their family. It didn’t turn out that well in the end and Rashford doesn’t have the level they did so he needs better advice more than anyone.”

Parker Launches Scathing Rant On England International

“Teammates are the ones who make or break you.”

We are sure you’ve heard that phrase before. This might lead to Rashford having to find a new club, however he could face a tough time at a new club, as his new teammates might not trust him, says Parker.

“You live and die by the people you play with, and he has to remember that. I think it might end up with Rashford having to find a new club, and the teammates will have a hard time trusting him.

“Are they going to trust him? No, because he has been shitting on his own doorstep so many times.

“He needs to think about the fact that he is Manchester through and through. He will live in this city after he retires and he has to live with all these stories about his professionalism. It’s not going to be an enjoyable time for him to be honest.”

Parker continues his rant by saying something must be wrong with Rashford, just as he also mentions what a reasonable punishment would be, looking at the upcoming match against Wolverhampton.

“He got to understand that when the football side of things is gone for him, a lot of people won’t forget it. There is something wrong. There is something wrong because he doesn’t want to work hard for the club he was supposed to love. He has let down the club and his teammates.

“He also needs to remember that this will follow him for the rest of his career. If I did this when I was playing, I can assure you that my teammates would have been very rough on me during training, and not least with their words in the dressing room.

“The club needs to consider whether he should stay or not. For now, looking at the very present, I think the right punishment would be to include him in the squad for the match against Wolverhampton, let him warm up and let him sit on the bench without even considering to sub him on. That would be embarrassing to him.”
