Now, Gary Neville has made his thoughts known on the pair’s very public holiday.
Gary Neville comments on Casemiro and Marcus Rashford heading Stateside.
Speaking with The Overlap US, Neville discussed the media criticism of the pair’s behaviour during the international break, with most being directed at Rashford.
Neville commented: “I think that comes with the territory when you’re this sort of player and this sort of stature.”
He continued: “I’ve got very little sympathy for players who are the stars, who are the huge money, huge commercial contracts. They want that attention, they need it, because that’s what fuels them, that’s what makes them the great players they are and gives them that adrenaline rush.
“They’re going to get more attention so I’ve got no problem with that, with the attention he gets.
“I’ve got no problem with him going away during the international break at all, I’ve got no problem with him, to be fair, in any of the clothes that he wears, he wears whatever he wants.
“The only thing that I would say is, and I’m saying this very calmly because I don’t want a, “Neville hammers Rashford” to be honest with you because I’m not hammering him.
“It’s been a very difficult period for the club and it’s been a very difficult period for Marcus Rashford and I always used to think… there was a player I used to play with that used to say that when times were tough that basically you go down to that extra level of detail of making sure everything’s perfect, you take the butter off your toast, you’d literally make sure that you were absolutely looking at every little one per cent of detail that you could.”
However, the trip wasn’t all about leisure for Rashford, with the attacker also posting images of him doing workouts in a local gym as well as individual skills training on a pitch.
Many fans have come to the support of Rashford, highlighting the training he’s also doing, criticising the media’s attacks on The Red devil.
