Paul Scholes criticizes Rashford for poor display against Atletico Madrid

Manchester United star Paul Scholes has slammed striker Marcus Rashford following his performance in the Red Devils’ 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday night in Spain.

Scholes claimed Rashford is too anxious and continually looking for a ‘magical’ moment to recapture his form after the England international put up another lackluster effort against Atletico Madrid.

Rashford was unable to make an impact at the Wanda Metropolitano and was replaced by Anthony Elanga in the 75th minute by Ralf Rangnick, Man United’s interim manager.

Elanga ultimately scored a late goal to ensure Manchester United drew the opening leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Atletico Madrid.

“He appears too anxious for me, almost too hard,” Scholes stated on BT Sport.

Scholes noted that it almost feels like Rashford is attempting to do something spectacular every time the ball comes to him and it is the worst thing to do.

“When I was going through a tough moment, the manager [Sir Alex Ferguson] always told me to keep it simple.”

“Simply ease your way back into the game. He doesn’t appear to be capable of doing so. He is constantly under the impression that he must produce something.

“He simply needs to calm down and work himself back into the game, and the form will come back,” he remarked.

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
