Alan Shearer believes Marcus Rashford needs to LEAVE Man United to reignite his England career after the forward was left out of the Three Lions’ Euro 2024 squad

Alan Shearer believes Marcus Rashford will need to leave Manchester United if he is to reignite his England career. 

The Manchester United forward has struggled for form since the start of last season and was left out of the Three Lions’ 26-man squad for Euro 2024. 

After netting 30 goals in the 2022-23 season, Rashford has scored just eight times in the 47 matches since. 

England and Newcastle legend Shearer, has told Betfair that he believes the forward will struggle to return to the England squad unless he leaves Old Trafford. 

The Match of the Day pundit said: ‘In his current form, I don’t see Marcus Rashford reviving his England career.

Shearer said he felt Rashford should have already left Old Trafford to reignite his career

‘I personally don’t know his mentality, or what his approach is in terms of training, but there’s only one way back, which is to train and have the right attitude.

‘But looking from the outside, for me, he should have left Man United to reignite his career because he’s gone very static for whatever reason, and it hasn’t worked for him for a while now.

‘Only Marcus can answer how much he wants to get back to scoring 30 goals a season.’

Erik ten Hag previously branded Shearer’s criticism of Rashford’s form as ‘stupid’.  

After United’s 2-1 loss to Brighton, Shearer said: ‘He’s had two games this season Marcus Rashford and he’s not had one shot at goal,’ said Shearer.

‘On today’s evidence and in the game against Fulham, it’s not been anywhere near good enough in front of goal.’

In response to Ten Hag’s criticism of his punditry work, Shearer doubled down and said he stands by what he said.

Shearer said: ‘I was quite content and happy with what I said about Man United and Marcus Rashford before the game.

‘I totally get Erik Ten Hag’s reaction because the question was put to him in his press conference about one of his players, and he’s got no other option than to protect his player. I totally understood that.

‘However, I would stand by everything I said, and nothing changed for me from what I saw at the weekend.’
