Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville says Marcus Rashford was wrong to party after last week's derby defeat.

Rashford went through with his birthday party in Manchester after the poor defeat at home to Manchester City.

"So, look. I've said this in my book. I've said this openly in public. If we lost a match, any match, forget a Manchester derby! If it was a Manchester derby, we wouldn't be seen for a week, two weeks," Neville explained on the Gary Neville Podcast.

"But if we lost a match, nights out were cancelled. Simple as that. That was my rule. It was the other lads' rule in the dressing room. You could not be seen out in a public place if you'd lost a football match.

"Because to be fair, you'd bump into people who paid big money to go and watch the club, to watch the team play, and they don't want to see you really enjoying yourself and celebrating. It's an optics thing.

"So, I'm all for lads enjoying their lives and enjoying their lives, but maybe that's a night to just have a takeaway, maybe have a glass of wine, bring your friends round to your house.

"Just optically, it's not great, I don't think, if you're basically seen out in a nightclub in Manchester after a derby loss. I don't think it's right. Erik ten Hag said it was a mistake; I would class it as a mistake as well.

"Marcus is from Manchester. I know it was his birthday, and you've got to live. But it's a Manchester derby. You've just been beaten 3-0, and the reality of it is the fans don't want to hear that you're out on the town."
