Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has warned Manchester United star Marcus Rashford to focus on his football and stop making public outbursts that will dent his image.
The England international, who was left out of the team against Manchester City and Tottenham, had earlier in the week gone public with his desire to leave United and stated that it was “time for a new challenge” after spending his entire career at the club.
However, Carragher, in an interview with Sky Sports, advised Rashford to allow his feet to do the talking in order to bounce back to his best
“I feel like I’ve been talking about Marcus Rashford for the last week, and I’ve said before, he’s not that good of a player for the amount of time that we talk about him. Wayne Rooney was, David Beckham was, Cristiano Ronaldo was.

“I’m not for any player coming out and being critical of the club, but for Rashford to do that, to come out without the club having any knowledge of it and just announce he’s basically put in a transfer request or he wants to leave the club, that leaves the club in a really poor position in terms of negotiating his exit at some stage.”
“If he really believes he wants to still be a Manchester United player and he still wants to have a great career, you don’t come out with a statement like that. You keep your mouth shut, you battle and you hope that you get a little chance.
“People keep talking about 30 goals, which is a really big figure. It’s not out of this world. We’re looking at some players now, they have better figures than that and he’s at Manchester United, a top team who dominates a lot of games.
“Manchester United should have a player every season scoring 30 goals. If they’re going to be playing 55 to 60 games, if you’ve got a player who can’t get 30 goals, he probably shouldn’t be at Manchester United.”
