‘Get your f*****g head out of your a**e!’ – Wayne Rooney slams Manchester United star Marcus Rashford

Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has urged Marcus Rashford to get his f*****g head out of his a**e’ in order to become the club’s record scorer in years to come.

The England forward has come under fierce criticism this term for his performances, which have been well below-par.

Rashford is believed to be considering his future at Old Trafford because of a lack of playing time, with the 24-year-old falling out of favour under Ralf Rangnick.

The forward clash with a supporter after he was heckled following United’s 1-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, when Rashford was dismal after coming on as a substitute.

Rooney played with Rashford for two years at Old Trafford and he mentored the youngster as he broke into the first-team.

But the Derby County boss has clearly run out of patience with Rashford, who he has urged to sort his head out in order to become a legend at Old Trafford.

‘To get the record and be Manchester United’s highest goal scorer is f***ing massive,’ said Rooney. ‘What I hope is that Marcus Rashford f***ing gets his head out of his a*** and goes and breaks that record. He is a Manchester lad.’
