Marcus Rashford told Sir Alex Ferguson 'would have given him a dressing down' after nightclub visits as Gary Neville expresses concern over Man Utd forward's off-pitch 'choices'

The United forward finds himself in the eye of controversy after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/marcus-rashford-on-mission-to-get-drunk-during-12-hour-tequila-fuelled-bender-in-belfast-before-man-utd-s-fa-cup-clash/blt785579b5dff92afd#cs101880bc194cdc02" target="_blank">a 12-hour tequila-fueled night out in Northern Ireland</a>, which left him having to miss an FA Cup encounter against Newport County in the FA Cup fourth round. This is not the first time that Rashford's off-pitch conduct has come under scrutiny, as he was spotted partying in the aftermath of a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/marcus-rashford-goes-clubbing-celebrate-birthday-just-hours-after-man-utd-derby-thrashing-at-hands-of-man-city/blt6ebc066a70a1f98f" target="_blank">derby defeat to Manchester City</a>&nbsp;in October 2023.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Neville, speaking on BBC Breakfast, warned Rashford that legendary former United boss Ferguson would have come down heavily on the forward for his latest breach of discipline. The former Red Devils defender said: "Your timing has to be right. He [Sir Alex Ferguson] would have given him a dressing down, but he would have said similar things, make sure you do it at the right moments, nobody ever says to a football player you can't go out."But when you have a game three days later and Marcus knows himself, he's an experienced player now and he's done this a few times. I've always seen him as being really responsible, professional and someone who works hard every day. He's going through a dip in form right now, but this has happened once or twice and it can become your personality if you're not careful."

WHAT NEVILLE SAID

Neville also warned Rashford that his reputation is now at stake after flouting club rules on multiple occasions."For me, going out for a drink or a night out is something every football player should and will do, so I've got absolutely no problem with that. They need to enjoy themselves," he said."But it's all about choices and timing and I said this after the Manchester City game at home. We got beat at home against City and he went out that night to Chinawhite, I think it was his birthday. Then they had a game against Newcastle in the Carabao Cup after that and I just said 'Look, choose your time'. United had just had a winter break and a few weeks off, so that was a better moment for him to go out."If you do it too many times, people wonder what is going on in your life, so he just needs to relax, calm down, choose when to go out and get back to playing football at the levels he can."

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Rashford will <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-players-shocked-angry-with-marcus-rashford-for-missing-fa-cup-tie-after-going-out-clubbing/blt260a90b37b76adc8#cs22ebc284220f491d" target="_blank">reportedly be re-integrated into the squad </a>by Erik ten Hag for United's next fixture against Wolves on Thursday in the Premier League. He is already back in training and will be determined to make amends for his mistake by inspiring United to three points at Molineux.
