Alan Shearer was highly critical of Marcus Rashford's body language during Wednesday night's FA Cup fifth round clash between Manchester United and Nottingham Forest.

In the latter stages of the first-half, a frustrated Rashford fell to the ground and waved his arms in the air after being brushed off the ball by a Nottingham Forest player.

"Come on Marcus, get up. Stop waving your arms around," Shearer said while on commentary duty for BBC Sport. "You've got to do better."

He added: "I don't like his body language at times. He's trying to send a message out to the fans, it's not my fault.

"You as an individual have to take responsibility now and again for your actions on the pitch. Get up and get on with it."

The former Newcastle United striker suggested Rashford has to "send out the correct message" to the fans when it comes to his body language during games.

"At times this season he hasn't done that," Shearer added. "He is getting frustrated.”

This isn't the first time Shearer has sent a clear message to Rashford this season. Back in January, he urged the England international to not waste his talent after being spotted at nightclubs in Belfast.

"There’s a huge talent in there with Marcus Rashford. We’ve seen him be disciplined last season when he was late to a meeting before a game but something is clearly wrong - either at home or in his relationship with the football club," he said.

"He can’t keep doing this, he can’t keep wasting his talent because it’s not right. He needs strong management, someone to get hold of him and tell him there’ll be huge regrets come the end of his career if he continues doing this."

Shearer added: "You can’t keep doing it, it needs sorting now. Thirty goals last season, four this season. When I see him play, it looks like he’s got the world on his shoulders so it needs sorting now because he can’t really deal with it."
