Paul Scholes tells Manchester United they should ban Marcus Rashford from the dressing room
Paul Scholes believes Manchester United should "banish" Marcus Rashford from their dressing room.
Rashford was left out of the squad again to face Fulham on Sunday and Ruben Amorim suggested he would rather name his goalkeeping coach on the bench than the 27-year-old.
Amorim briefly recalled Rashford to the squad to face Newcastle on December 30, but the academy graduate has been omitted from every other matchday since the Manchester derby.

Two days after Rashford was dropped for that game against Manchester City, he admitted he was open to a "new challenge" and he has not made an appearance since, which has seen the academy graduate linked with a move to Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund, Tottenham and West Ham.
Rashford has until the the transfer window closed at 11pm on February 3 to agree a move away from United, and Scholes has suggested banning him from the dressing room.
Scholes said: “I think Marcus has let a lot of people down with his attitude and I think that's what the manager is trying to say. You think of the young players coming through and think of Garnacho.
"They're looking up to people like Marcus now and he's 27, he's clearly not training properly and not living his life properly. They're the examples these people should look at.
"I remember when I told the manager [Sir Alex Ferguson] I didn't want to play against Arsenal in the cup. In the meeting afterwards, I thought I was going to get a b********* here, but he said to me 'the worst thing you did was let your teammates down' and that stuck with me.
"I wasn't really thinking about that and now I think Marcus Rashford is doing the exact same. Ok, he's not refusing to play, but the way he is behaving and the way he's training...
"In a way, he's saying he doesn't want to be involved with the team and the fact he's letting his teammates down, he should be banished from the dressing room. If he’s in and around that and young people are seeing him him as an example, the sooner he’s gone the better.”
Rashford last played against Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League on December 12, but he appeared in high spirits when journalists attended open training at Carrington last week.
Scholes was speaking about Rashford during a fan debate on Sky Bet's The Overlap.
