Alan Shearer has reaffirmed his criticism of Marcus Rashford, stating he believes it was justified due to Rashford's inconsistent performance levels at Manchester United. Shearer noted that Rashford's standards have been high in the past, evidenced by his impressive goal tally two seasons ago, but his recent form had been lacking, leading to his omission from the England squad. Following Rashford's first Premier League goal of the season in a 3-0 win against Southampton, Shearer acknowledged the improvement but emphasized the need for consistency. He mentioned that Rashford does not receive criticism when he plays well, indicating that expectations are based on his past achievements. The pundit expressed hope that this goal would boost Rashford's confidence moving forward. Despite his recent praise, Shearer maintains that accountability for performance is essential, especially at a top club like Manchester United.
