Alan Shearer makes Marcus Rashford point as Manchester United forward responds to transfer rumours

Manchester United are back up and running thanks to their 1-0 Premier League win over Fulham on Saturday.

In a tight game at Craven Cottage, the Reds came out victorious thanks to Bruno Fernandes' late goal in the first minute of added-time in the second half. The Reds will be hoping the win signals an upturn in form after back-to-back 3-0 defeats to Manchester City and Newcastle United in the Premier League and Carabao Cup in the run-up to the match in west London.

One player who didn't feature at the weekend was forward Marcus Rashford, who missed the fixture due to injury. The England international had been called out by his boss Erik ten Hag for attending a birthday party hours after the derby defeat.

Alan Shearer has described Marcus Rashford’s decision to go out partying after Manchester United’s 3-0 defeat by Manchester City as “daft”, and said he should have cancelled his pre-arranged plans.

Erik ten Hag branded the manner of the birthday celebrations “unacceptable” although refused to reveal whether he had been fined. The manager said the striker had apologised to the rest of the squad. It is understood Tyrell Malacia, currently out injured having not played since last season, also attended the party.
