Alan Shearer insists criticism of Marcus Rashford has NOT been unfair after Man United star's camp claimed treatment from club legends was like 'bullying'

Alan Shearer has insisted that his criticism of Marcus Rashford has been fair after the 26-year-old striker finally made the net bulge this weekend.

The England international scored in the Red Devils 3-0 thrashing of Southampton at St Mary's to end his six month-long goal drought in the Premier League.

He scored United's second on the day, a sublime outside of the box strike which found its way into the bottom right corner of the goal, aided in by the post.

Up until then, Rashford's last goal in England's top flight came all way back in March, earning him a lot of criticism from the sporting world.
