The former England and United midfielder backed Ruben Amorim after the manager aimed a dig at Rashford following the club's win over Fulham last weekend. Questioning the striker's efforts on the training pitch, the Portuguese coach said that he would rather play United's 63-year-old goalkeeping coach Jorge Vital than Rashford at the moment.

Sharing his opinion on Rashford's situation, Scholes said on brought to you by : "I think Marcus has let a lot of people down really, with his attitude, and I think thatâs what the manager is trying to say. You think of the young players coming through the team, think of (Alejandro) Garnacho, theyâre looking up to people like Marcus now â heâs 27 years of age, and heâs clearly not training properly.
"I remember years ago when I told the manager (Sir Alex Ferguson) I didnât want to play in that Arsenal game⊠he said to me âthe worst thing you did is let your team-mates downâ, and that really stuck with me because I wasnât really thinking about that â and now I think Marcus Rashford, heâs doing exactly the same."
He added: "OK, heâs not refusing to play, but in the way heâs behaving and the way heâs training, in a way he is saying I donât want to be involved with these. So I think the fact of letting your team-mates down in that dressing room â he should be banished from the dressing room really. If heâs in and around that and young people are seeing that as an example, the sooner heâs gone the better."

The 27-year-old attacker, who has not featured for the Red Devils since December 12 and has expressed a desire to take on a "new challenge", is being strongly linked with a move away from Old Trafford before the winter transfer window slams shut. Barcelona could be a possible destination for Rashford, with the La Liga giants reportedly keen on signing him on loan.
