'A fridge on his back' - Stuart Pearce calls out Marcus Rashford after he 'jacked it in' against Bayern Munich

Despite registering an assist for Rasmus Hojlund's first United goal in the Champions League encounter, Rashford was lambasted by ex-England and Manchester City player Stuart Pearce.

United found themselves two goals down at Bayern after 32 minutes, with Andre Onana's howler allowing Leroy Sane's tame effort to slip by him before Serge Gnabry doubled the lead. Hojlund pulled one back early in the second half, but a Harry Kane penalty edged Bayern further ahead again before Mathys Tel's goal rendered a late Casemiro double an irrelevance.

Rashford was one of the players to be held responsible for the Red Devils' lack of fight for most of the game, as Pearce said the England star looked "like he had a fridge on his back".

He said on talkSPORT during the game: "Man United are under the cosh because too many of their players have jacked it in. Rashford half running back and Casemiro half running back.

"I'm not sure what Onana said when he has a rant at [Harry] Maguire in the summer but now is the time to have a rant at the back line, not just the back line but the whole team. Too many players who have given up the ghost and that is alarming. United are so off the pace and they are lucky that Bayern have not been more clinical."

United will hope to put an end to their three-game losing streak this weekend when they face Burnley in the Premier League.
