Former Manchester United defender Paul Parker has ripped into Marcus Rashford over his start to the season, branding him a ‘selfish’ player who acts like a ‘petulant child’ on the pitch. Parker hasn’t held back in his assessment of Rashford, who has so far failed to build on his career-best 2022\/23 campaign.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old forward has scored just one goal in six appearances this term, with United losing four of those games.<\/p>\n
Rashford entered the season high in confidence after scoring 30 goals in Erik ten Hag’s maiden campaign as United boss and penning a new long-term contract earlier this year.<\/p>\n
But he has struggled to turn games into the Red Devils’ favour in recent weeks, garnering strong criticism from Parker on Friday.<\/p>\n
Parker didn’t shy away from calling out Rashford’s frailties during his sensational 22\/23 season, and his opposition to the United No 10 has grown louder now that goals have dried up.<\/p>\n
“I was criticising Rashford when he scored goals because I wanted him to provide more for the team. Now, he is not scoring goals anymore, and his decision-making is still poor,” Parker told MyBettingSites.<\/p>\n

You wouldn’t expect it to happen at Old Trafford. Not in a million years.<\/p>\n “But he does that every single time, and it shows me that he might not be a player for Man United after all. He needs to change his game and his attitude.”<\/p>\n Rashford is one of several United players to have underwhelmed at the start of the season.
