**Manchester, England:** Manchester United legend Paul Scholes believes Marcus Rashford has taken action behind the scenes after being left out of the starting lineup against Crystal Palace.
Scholes, known for his forthright commentary, hinted that Rashford’s absence from the match, which United won 1-0, could be a consequence of a conversation with manager Erik ten Hag. “There’s something happening with Rashford behind the scenes,” Scholes suggested. “It’s unlikely he was dropped purely for performance reasons, so it’s probably something he’s done.”
While the nature of the “something” remains unclear, Scholes’ remarks sparked speculation about Rashford’s potential discontent with his playing time or a possible request for a transfer.
Rashford’s recent form has been inconsistent, and his omission from the starting lineup against Palace raised eyebrows among fans and pundits alike. The English forward has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford in recent months, with several clubs reportedly interested in his services.
Ten Hag is yet to address the situation publicly, leaving room for further speculation. It remains to be seen whether Rashford will feature in United’s upcoming matches or whether his absence from the Palace game signals a potential turning point in his Manchester United career.
