Manchester United hero Nicky Butt has claimed Marcus Rashford must sort out his head.

The centre forward is once again in the media spotlight after being dropped from the squad over the weekend.

Rashford was not involved in the 4-2 FA Cup win over Newport County, as he called in sick for training on Friday, having been spotted in Belfast nightclubs hours earlier.

At an event last month, filmed by Man Utd The Religion, Butt stated: "Rashford is a world class talent who's just not happy in his life or football or whatever it is.

"He's just not happy. And I tell my son who's 16, 'if you're not happy playing football, then you're not gonna play well'. So that's the position he's in. Whatever the dynamic is, I don't know.

"I'm very defensive of Marcus because I've known him since he was eight and maybe I'm not the right person to speak about him because I'm very loyal to people that I really care about and he's one of ours.

"And he is a great lad, an unbelievable talent, but even I will say he needs to sort his head out because he's not happy at the minute and he's not working hard enough. I know what I think, but I can't compare myself to Marcus because he's in a s**thole of a changing room right now.
