Casemiro and Marcus Rashford's trips to the United States during the November international break left Gary Neville questioning their professionalism.
Manchester United is finally turning the page on the Erik ten Hag era as the club welcomed new manager Ruben Amorim to Old Trafford on Nov. 11. The 39-year-old met with several Red Devils who stayed back from international duty, but noticeably absent were Casemiro and Rashford.
The two players opted to take some time away from the pitch and travel to the United States. Rashford enjoyed a New York Knicks basketball game while Casemiro visited Disney World with his family.
The trip received negative attention from Neville. The former United man slammed the two players for the timing and consequences of their vacations on the Stick to Football podcast.
"The professionalism, looking after your body and making sure you're best prepared for the next training session is critical to every decision you make during the season," Neville said. "[Rashford] has got a mental break. He's got to get away and has got to rest with friends. Then you talk about the choice of venue. How far do you fly? What's the time difference? Is that going to give a jet lag issue? Is that going to give a stiffness issue from being on a flight for 12 hours?"
