Marcus Rashford was never a saint – Jamie Carragher 

Ex-liverpool player, Jamie Carragher believes Marcus Rashford was never 'the saint he was made out' to be in the wake of his '12-hour tequila bender' in Belfast last week.

He said Rashford is not the player capable of leading Manchester United back to the top of English football.

The England international called in sick on Friday and was subsequently fined £650,000 – two weeks wages – when details of his boozy antics emerged.

Rashford was ‘clearly on a mission to get drunk’, according to accounts of his night out in the Northern Irish city, and collapsed into bed fully-clothed at 3am.

While the United forward has since accepted responsibility for missing training last week, Carragher suggested the incident was not entirely surprising.

‘I don’t ever believe he was this saint that he was made out to be, and this inner circle, I think they have done a great job with Marcus – there was a lot of PR around him,’ he said speaking on the Stick to Football podcast, sponsored by Sky Bet.
