Telegraph columnist Alan Tyers called out former Manchester United stars like Scholes, Gary Neville, Roy Keane, and Nicky Butt for letting petty digs and score-settling dominate headlines instead of focusing on their punditry roles.

While some praise the ex-players' insights from their trophy-filled careers under Sir Alex Ferguson, others see their barbs as unhelpful drama amid the club's post-Fergie struggles.

Rashford joined Barcelona on a season-long loan from United in July 2025, shining early with 10 goals and 10 assists, including five in the Champions League.
