Paul Ince accuses one Manchester United player of ‘getting ahead of himself’ in rant

PAUL INCE has let rip at Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford in a controversial rant.
Rashford, 20, has scored just two goals in his last 16 appearances and is short of the form that lit up the Premier League last year.

He remains an Old Trafford favourite with Manchester United fans staying patient with their academy product.

But Ince has slammed the forward as he accused United players of being “disrespectful”.

That follows the shock 2-1 Carabao Cup defeat to Bristol City last week.

Ince told Paddy Power: “No disrespect to Bristol City at all – but Man United should be beating them.

“They also don’t have the excuse that they fielded a weaker side. They were playing some top, top players who just weren’t good enough.

“I kept seeing Marcus Rashford attempt little flicks in the middle of the park, and it seems to me as though he has gotten ahead of himself.
“He’s a fantastically talented player – but right then, against Bristol who really wanted the win, wasn’t the time.

“He should’ve been focused on doing absolutely anything he could to help the team, rather than showboating.



“To me, it looked as though the home side and their players just wanted it more.

“The United lads seemed as though they’d checked out, or as though they weren’t interested. And to me that’s just completely disrespectful.

“It’s still a trophy – it’s still silverware which is the most important thing in football. Not to mention the fact that they are the holders of it.”

United supporters called for Jose Mourinho’s head after the game but Ince has mocked those words as “ludicrous”.
He added: “The inevitable reaction to the loss was, of course, for fans to completely overreact and suggest that Mourinho is taking the club in the wrong direction. I mean, come on. Wake up.

“Personally, I believe it’s United fans lashing out because they can see how far ahead Man City are compared to them. But really, this is their best start to a season since Sir Alex Ferguson left.

“They need to get a bit of perspective – no disrespect to him, but when you compare them now to when Louis van Gaal was there, it’s streets ahead. He’s now been linked with the Swansea job – doesn’t that say it all?

“They’re second in the Premier League, they’re still in the Champions League and should advance to the next stage, and they’ve got the FA Cup. There are far worse positions to be in, but the fact is, it wouldn’t seem so bad if City weren’t so good.”
