Man Utd axe Marcus Rashford for ‘disciplinary reasons’ as Ten Hag gives blunt interview | Football | Sport
“Marcus Rashford today would be the first name in the team but he’s obviously done something that’s upset him, the rest of the team. Marcus has paid for it.”
Ferdinand believes the decision will only have a positive impact on the United squad as a whole. He said: “You think back to when we played, if the manager showed weakness, it’s like the Cristiano Ronaldo situation, we can all have our opinion but the most important people are those in that changing room.
“If they’re responding to these decisions with respect, step out of line, you’re punished immediately. That can only be positive for this dressing room.”
Rashford’s long-term future at United is yet to be secured. The club triggered the option to extend his contract to 2024 earlier this month but talks continue over a longer deal.
