Marcus Rashford slammed by former Premier League star for setting a bad example to 'sulky' young stars at Man United - as striker panned for 'throwing his arms about like the world owes him a favour'

Former Watford striker Troy Deeney has blasted Marcus Rashford for acting as a bad influence for Manchester United's young talents as the Englishman's bad form continues.

Just a few years ago, the 27-year-old was on his way to Old Trafford legend status after reaching double figures of league goals in three consecutive seasons and gaining plaudits off the field with his charity work in battling child food poverty.

But as United's fortunes have fallen off a cliff edge, so have Rashford's and the forward has scored just eight times in 44 Premier League appearances over the last two campaigns as the Red Devils slump into the lower half of the table.
