Furious Jamie Redknapp slams Manchester United star Marcus Rashford in rant during Brentford clash

Jamie Redknapp has criticised Marcus Rashford for “walking around like it's a bit of fun” in the first half of Manchester United’s visit to Brentford.

United were frustrated in attack while Brentford fired in 14 shots during the first period - the second time they amassed such an amount since being promoted to the Premier League. Rashford has had an underwhelming season and struggled to get on the ball in the first half.

Redknapp lamented the striker for his lack of movement while critiquing the overall lacklustre performance from United. He urged Rashford to show more nous and energy amid his eight-goal campaign.

Speaking at half-time on Sky Sports, Redknapp said: “I think Man United fans would have been really looking forward to tonight. On the back of a brilliant result against Liverpool, they could turn their season around.

“They have been so bad tonight, I cannot believe the lack of effort, spark and desire to win individual battles to make things happen. I'm watching Rashford. He's walking around like it's a bit of fun out there.

“It's the Premier League, you have got to try and win games. We have been amazed at how poor United have been.”

United barely mustered four efforts on target in the first period with Rasmus Hojlund nor Alejandro Garnacho barely getting a sight on goal. Rashford was equally as ineffective, having been given just 15 minutes for England across their two friendlies during the international break.

There are reports that the attacker - who finished as his country’s joint top-scorer at the 2022 World Cup with three goals - is at risk of losing his squad spot for Euro 2024.
