Jamie Carragher says Marcus Rashford 'was never the saint he was made out to be' as he credits his 'inner circle' for 'PR around him'... and suggests Man United 'won't win anything big' with under-fire star as their best player

Jamie Carragher believes Marcus Rashford was never 'the saint he was made out' to be in the wake of his '12-hour tequila bender' in Belfast last week and that he's not the player capable of leading Manchester United back to the top of English football.

The England international called in sick on Friday and was subsequently fined £650,000 - two weeks wages - when details of his boozy antics emerged.

Rashford was 'clearly on a mission to get drunk', according to accounts of his night out in the Northern Irish city, and collapsed into bed fully-clothed at 3am.
