MARCUS RASHFORD was one of four flops to give up against Newcastle, claims Alan Shearer.
The Premier League legend slammed the attitudes of the Manchester United players.
United were beaten 1-0 at St. James’ Park on Saturday night in a blow to their hopes of finishing in the top four.
Rashford struggled to make an impact during the match before being replaced by Antony in the 61st minute.
Shearer has now criticised the England winger’s attitude along with those of his team-mates.
He said on The Rest Is Football podcast: “I thought they were a mess, I thought they were terrible.

“I thought their attitude was awful and it highlighted some of the really bad attitudes they clearly have.
“When it’s tough and when it’s hard, you see the players who want to play for you and you see the players who want to support you as a manager and as a fan.
“And I thought there were three or four players yesterday who were not prepared to roll their sleeves up and gave up far too easily and didn’t want to fight.”
As for Rashford in particular, he added: “When you look at Rashford’s performance from yesterday, he didn’t look like he wanted to be there at all.

“When he got dragged off, you could see his reaction.”
The 26-year-old has struggled for form this season, scoring just twice in all competitions.
His penalty against Everton last week ended a run of seven Premier League matches without scoring.
Erik ten Hag also cut a frustrated figure on the touchline on Saturday and was seen arguing with Anthony Martial during the match.
The Frenchman was also withdrawn in the 61st minute, with Rasmus Hojlund coming on in his place.
United are now seventh after their latest defeat, five points adrift of the top four.
Ten Hag will hope his side can bounce back at home to Chelsea on Wednesday.
