Marcus Rashford has angrily rubbished claims the English players at Manchester United are frustrated by an alleged dressing room divide created by Cristiano Ronaldo. The 24-year-old was dropped to the bench by Ralf Rangnick on Tuesday night for the 2-0 win over Brighton after previously featuring in attack alongside Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho against Southampton last weekend.
Reports from Bild in Germany have since claimed the likes of Rashford and Harry Maguire are losing patience over a supposed clique that has been formed in the dressing room by Ronaldo.
There has been plenty of talk of unrest behind the scenes at Old Trafford in recent weeks but United’s players remain adamant all is well.
Now Rashford has been unable to bite his tongue, jumping to the defence of his team-mates by calling out journalist Christian Falk over the claims.
Quote tweeting a report from Bild that read: “TRUE: The English Players like Harry Maguire, Marcus Rashford and Co are irritated that Ronaldo wants to lead the dressing room with his own clique. There is a risk of a split in the team.”
To which Rashford responded: “Are we just making it up as we go along now then? Please stop looking for divides.”
