"It looked like one step forward and two steps back for Marcus Rashford when, three days after he scored twice in Barcelona's 2-1 Champions League victory at Newcastle, he was late for a team meeting and dropped."
"In the pile-on that followed, Paul Scholes said Rashford would not be "getting away with that for long at Barcelona" and asked the question: "How can you sleep in these days?" The inference was that he had been late for the game."
Marcus Rashford is on loan from Manchester United at Barcelona and is performing strongly in Spain. He scored twice in Barcelona's 2-1 Champions League victory at Newcastle. Three days after that win he arrived late for a team meeting and was dropped from the squad. The episode suggested a reversal of momentum, appearing like one step forward and two steps back for Rashford. Paul Scholes said Rashford would not be "getting away with that for long at Barcelona" and asked "How can you sleep in these days?", implying Rashford had been late for the match. The late meeting and omission triggered scrutiny of his professionalism despite recent on-field success.
