Q & A

What new information came out that changed Mark's stance on defending Rashford?

What does Mark think Rashford's priorities should be as a Manchester United player?

Why does Mark think the club has gone soft regarding discipline?

Mark recounts stories from ex-player Ben Foster about how United legends like Giggs and Neville would discipline teammates harshly for something as minor as leaving a training bib on the pitch. Mark feels the club has gone soft and lacks those same extreme standards now.

Mark wants to first understand why Rashford was out clubbing in Belfast the night before training. An explanation is needed before assessing appropriate consequences.
