Marcus Rashford 'should be banished' as Paul Scholes becomes latest person to blast Man United star
WATCH NOW: Sports round-up as Man United legend Paul Scholes blasts Marcus Rashford
Marcus Rashford should be banished from the Manchester United dressing room following Ruben Amorim's stinging attack on the winger, according to Paul Scholes.
Rashford has found himself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons after his manager brutally criticised him in public on Sunday night.
Amorim said he wasn't picking the 27-year-old because he's not seeing enough effort or application from him in training.
And the Portuguese even went as far to say he'd rather pick his 63-year-old goalkeeping coach over Rashford at the current moment in time.

Many have been critical of Rashford in the wake of Amorim's comments.
And Scholes, speaking on The Overlap, has now called for the winger to be banished from the dressing room as the saga rumbles on.
“I think Marcus has let a lot of people down with his attitude and I think that's what the manager is trying to say," he said.
"You think of the young players coming through the team and think of [Alejandro] Garnacho.
"They're looking up to people like Marcus now and he's 27, he's clearly not training properly, he's not living his life properly. They're the examples these people should look at.
"I remember years ago when I told the manager [Ferguson] I didn't want to play in that Arsenal cup game.
"The meeting we had afterwards, I thought I was going to get a right b********g here, he said to me, 'The worst thing you did was let your team-mates down'. And that really stuck with me.
"Because I wasn't really thinking about that and now I think Marcus Rashford is doing exactly the same.

"Ok, he's not refusing to play, but in the way he is behaving and the way he's training…
"In a way, he's saying he doesn't want to be involved with the team and the fact of letting his team-mates down, he should be banished from the dressing room.
"If he’s in and around that and young people are seeing that as an example, the sooner he’s gone the better.”
With just days to go until the end of the January transfer window, United are in a race against time to get Rashford off their books.
