Marcus Rashford should not blame an "inconsistent environment" for his struggles at Manchester United, so says Wayne Rooney.
Rashford was ostracised by Ruben Amorim at United after the Portuguese boss took over in November 2024.
He subsequently joined Aston Villa in January on loan, and is now in Spain with LaLiga giants Barcelona.
The England international leads Barca for goal involvements in all competitions, with seven (three goals, four assists), while only Pedri (24) has created more chances than Rashford (18) for the Blaugrana this season.
Rashford recently claimed that there had been an "inconsistent environment for a very long time" at United, but Rooney – the Red Devils' record goalscorer – feels that should not be used as an excuse for the forward's struggles.
"I think the environment hasn't been right but that is down to yourself," he said in the latest episode of BBC Sport's The Wayne Rooney Show.
"If you are not playing well or you get left out of the team, then I think it is easier to blame the environment and whether that is right or wrong.
"I think that comes from how you apply yourself.
"In games we have seen with him where we know he can do more, we know he can run more – that is nothing to do with an environment.
"I might be wrong here, I really like Marcus as a lad and as a person but I think that is an easy one to throw at people."

I can imagine if rooney and those other legends didn't have The Real BOSS Sir Alex where they would have been. Leave Rashford alone please .You guys should thank Fergie for the rest of your lives and dont behave like Fergie

Is it not striker that create consistent or inconsistent environment? You scored 30 goals under ETH buh didn't call out the environment....then you started missing chances, even attending parties at the team's expense and suddenly you ran off with this mentality...... Was Aston Villa also an inconsistent environment when you were there on loan? Good riddance of bad rubbish

That's is not ever my problem even, my problem is who told Noah to allow Snake and scorpion inside the ark and how the hell did mosquitos get inside the ark without Noah's permission ?

look at these United fans making a fool of themselves. How many top players came in before Rashford and still couldn't do shit, Rashford is arguably the best since Rooney left, his numbers are good, bro turn up against the big 6 more than any other United player post Rooney. We got in a lot of clueless coach for sure, until now we haven't fix the main issue since mourinho, Defense. Rashford I wish you the very best. Amorin gonna get United relegated and I want to see them continue blame Rashford
You’re a genuine fan, bro 👍. You understand me perfectly, and it has nothing to do with me being a Barcelona fan.✌️

Isn't it funny how no media is talking about sancho? If he had score one goal then amori would have being labeled the problem.

Even if you caught your wife cheating and divorce her she also put the blame to the husband its natural,, there was good players before him who left the club and put the blame on the club as well but where are they now,, if you're not good for the team go find where you can fit, and rember to fit doesn't mean you belong there

Meanwhile, he was part of the problem in MU. He always loses the ball and cannot tackle back. Honestly, you're one of the laziest players in the Premier League

There were thorns everywhere in the environment, that's why he couldn't run so as not to get injured by the thorns
