Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard 'warned by Manchester United'

Manchester United stars Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard have reportedly both been warned to concentrate on their football amid concern that they are being distracted by external commitments.

Lingard launched a fashion label last year, while 21-year-old Rashford is increasingly being offered opportunities away from the sport.

The two, who are close friends, spent their summer holiday together and some of the footage on social media was heavily criticised by fans.

The Sun reports that United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his assistant Mike Phelan took the players aside separately to warn them that their commitments to United and their performances on the pitch must come first.

Although Lingard has not scored or registered an assist for the Red Devils since December 2018, Rashford has performed better, scoring his third goal of the season against Leicester City yesterday from the penalty spot.
