Hughes labels Rashford 'one of the WORST' players in the PL without the ball

Mark Hughes has slammed one Manchester United player for his work off the ball.

Hughes, 60, was a favourite at Old Trafford after he enjoyed a hugely decorated six-year-spell at the club where he scored 116 goals in 352 appearances and won several trophies.

The Welshman moved into coaching after retirement and has managed the likes of Man City, Blackburn, Stoke and Bradford - before he was sacked by the League Two side in October.

And, when appearing on the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast with Sam Allardyce, Hughes discussed the problems facing United and hit out at Marcus Rashford.

‘I don’t think the players go out with the intention of not trying, that doesn’t happen,' he said.


'But I think Rashford has slipped back into the mindset that he had prior to last season – he doesn’t look happy.

‘He obviously had a lot going on outside the game which maybe took something away from him, and perhaps he just needs to focus back solely on what his role is when he’s asked to put on the shirt for Man United.'

The England star has endured a difficult season so far, scoring just two Premier League goals, one of which was a penalty handed to him by Bruno Fernandes in United's 3-0 win against Everton.
