Paul Scholes believes Marcus Rashford's exceptional performance two years ago has set an unrealistic standard, leading to him being 'cast aside' by the club. Rashford's recent omission from the Manchester derby squad has fueled speculation about his future at Man United, with Scholes expressing concern about the player's happiness and on-field choices.
Paul Scholes believes that Marcus Rashford is a victim of his own success as the Manchester United academy graduate now looks set to leave the club. Rashford was dropped by new manager Ruben Amorim for Sunday's Manchester derby against Manchester City. Along with Alejandro Garnacho, Rashford was left out of the squad entirely for the match at the Etihad Stadium. Speaking after the game, on Sky Sports' the Overlap, Scholes said: 'I hate seeing local lads leave.

Is he getting the right support behind the scenes? 'You don't know what's happening. But it did happen with ten Hag, I think he was late for a meeting before the Wolves game, and again, he's been left out of this squad. I think his on and off the field choices aren't quite right.' Rashford, who signed a bumper new contract at United in 2023, still has three-and-a-half years left to run on his deal. However, on Tuesday he opened up on his future. 'For me, personally, I think I'm ready for a new challenge and the next steps,' he admitted. 'When I leave it's going to be no hard feelings.
