Marcus Rashford criticized for 'not enjoying' football or his 'life of luxury' as Paul Gascoigne lays into Man Utd star

Rashford has endured a tough time at Old Trafford recently. The forward managed just seven goals in the 2023-24 season as the Red Devils ended the season down in eighth place, the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/not-good-enough-erik-ten-hag-reacts-man-utd-worst-ever-premier-league-finish-despite-final-day-win-brighton/blt484460745df1e677" target="_blank">club's worst ever Premier League finish.</a> Rashford's <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/marcus-rashford-jack-grealish-harry-maguire-26-man-england-squad-missed-out-euro-2024/blt4754f73f94946432" target="_blank">underwhelming form also saw him miss out on a place in Gareth Southgate's England squad</a> for Euro 2024.

WHAT HAPPENED?

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Speaking on behalf of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sportstalkphilly.com/">Sports Talk Philly,</a>&nbsp;Gascoigne told&nbsp;GOAL: "Marcus Rashford, I’m a bit disappointed he didn’t get picked for the Euros because I like Rashford. The thing with Rashford is, he’s just got to smile a bit, f*cking hell! Buy him something to make him smile. It just feels like he’s not enjoying it. He’s playing for Manchester United and with the wages he’s on, he’s got a life of luxury there and he’s got to enjoy it. I didn’t like it when some players scored and didn’t celebrate because you’ve got to realise - a bloke will take his three sons to the match, say Wembley, it costs them a lot of money to get there, money on food, watching the game and then these players just go off and don’t appreciate it - if it wasn’t for the fans coming to watch me play, I wouldn’t have been able to afford the nice holidays I had, or the nice cars and jewellery. I’m like the gladiator, entertaining fans and that’s what I like to think I did."

WHAT GASCOIGNE SAID

Rashford will face increased competition for a place in the team this season with Amad Diallo, Joshua Zirkzee, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Jadon Sancho all currently battling for a place in the attack. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-fulham-joshua-zirkzee-casemiro/bltca0508304b5cd0f9" target="_blank">The England star did start in Manchester United's opening win against Fulham</a> and will hope to keep his place for Saturday's trip to Brighton.
