Alan Shearer\u00a0has hit out at\u00a0Marcus Rashford’s\u00a0‘daft and stupid’ decision to go clubbing after Manchester United’s 3-0 defeat to to Man City last week.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The forward upset his manager after he was pictured in a nightclub hours after United’s humbling in the derby.<\/p>\n
Erik ten Hag called the 26-year-old’s decision ‘unacceptable’ but revealed Rashford had apologised for the error and the matter was now resolved.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shearer has opted to wade into the debate, agreeing with the Dutchman and criticising the England forward for his choice to proceed with birthday plans following the result, saying he should have cancelled the arrangements.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s your birthday on a Saturday night. If you\u2019ve been dumped 3-0 and it\u2019s a terrible performance you\u2019ve got to read the room,\u2019 Shearer said on The Rest Is Football podcast.<\/p>\n

Erik Ten Hag called the incident unacceptable but revealed that the 26-year-old had apologised and the matter was resolved<\/p>\n
\u2018The number of times that that happened to me where we had a dinner planned or this planned and we\u2019ve been beaten on a Saturday night and I\u2019ve said, \u2018I can\u2019t go out, I\u2019m not going out\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u2018You can\u2019t go into town, into a nightclub on the night you\u2019ve been dumped 3-0 off your neighbours. You can\u2019t do it, it\u2019s just a no-no.<\/p>\n
\u2018It was daft, it was stupid for Marcus to do that, whether it\u2019s your birthday or not, you can\u2019t go out after you\u2019ve been battered.<\/p>\n
\u2018Dinner is different, if you\u2019re going out to a restaurant there\u2019s an excuse to say I\u2019m just going out with the missus or whoever it may be. But going into a nightclub, you can\u2019t do that, not when you\u2019ve been beaten 3-0 by your neighbours. Cancel.\u2019<\/p>\n
United players were allowed to let their hair down after Saturday’s crucial 1-0 win against Fulham at Craven Cottage. Bruno Fernandes scored a late winner which eased the pressure on Ten Hag and lifted the Red Devils into the top eight.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Members of the squad toasted the victory at MNKY House in Manchester, a swanky restaurant in Spinningfields, a stone’s throw away from Albert Square.\u00a0Rashford, however, was a notable absentee.<\/p>\n
The forward has faced criticism from many quarters due to his drop off in form this term was forced into responding to a Manchester United\u00a0fan channel who raised questions about his future at the club.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rashford did not take well to a video posted by\u00a0The United Stand and hit back\u00a0in a reply on X, writing: ‘Please STOP spreading malicious rumours.’<\/p>\n
He has netted\u00a0just one goal in 14 appearances across all competitions this season after hitting\u00a030 goals last term.\u00a0<\/p>\n
