Mark Goldbridge Responds After Paul Scholes Brands Rashford ‘Disgraceful’

Manchester United fan and YouTuber Mark Goldbridge has reacted to Paul Scholes' 'disgraceful' dig at Marcus Rashford.

During the summer transfer window, Rashford left United after agreeing to join Spanish La Liga giants Barcelona on loan.

Since moving to the Catalan club, Rashford has shown glimpses of his best football.

Last week, the Englishman scored twice as Barcelona kicked off their UEFA Champions League campaign with a 2-1 win over Newcastle United.

Speaking recently, United legend Scholes pulled no punches as he criticised Rashford's behaviour.

He said on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast: "I really struggled to feel happy for him, to feel pleased for him.

"Mainly because his attitude, his attitude at United. The time he was leaving, I thought it was just disgrace at United, not trying, basically."

Scholes continued: "Look, if you fell out with a manager, then OK, but remember, you've got team-mates you're playing with. You've got a massive 80,000 there, whatever it is, every single week that you have to put a bit of effort in.

"The amount of times I saw him at United walking because he wants to leave, I thought his whole demeanour was a disgrace. I think he actually quit on Manchester United. And once you quit once, you'll quit again."

Taking to social media, Goldbridge has now responded to Scholes' comment.

He wrote: "Some have an issue with this but the standards at United are shocking. Take Luke Shaw. He's been here 11 years. Not a bad player but is NEVER going to be discussed in 20 years in the same sentence as Evra. Neville, Irwin. No better than Silvestre tbh.

"Point is we romanticise and overyhype players that actually aren't at the level. They don't have the consistency or mentality and it's been proven time and time again. Yet we refuse to get ruthless."

Rashford and Barcelona will be back in La Liga action on Thursday night when they take on Real Oviedo at the Estadio Municipal Carlos Tartiere.
