Man Utd outcast Marcus Rashford told he doesn’t ‘deserve’ move to Barcelona

Marcus Rashford has made no secret of the fact that he’s dreaming of swapping Manchester United for Barcelona this summer but has been told he doesn’t “deserve” the move.

Former Manchester United and England striker Teddy Sheringham has had some strong words about Rashford and does not like the way he has behaved recently.

“If you assess where Marcus Rashford is at as a professional footballer, you strive as a youngster to get to the very top and play for clubs like Manchester United, and when you’re there, you appreciate it,” he told Sky Bet. “You don’t throw it away and say you want to leave, I find the whole episode very soul-destroying, compared to the way I was back in the day and how I strove to get the privilege to play for such a huge football club. “To hear someone talking the way he is talking, saying he wants out — I didn’t like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang doing that at Arsenal, I thought it was soul-destroying, and I hope Rashford doesn’t get the move that he’s hankering for. “From my perspective, if you go from Manchester United to Barcelona, that’s a step up that he hasn’t deserved.”

Barcelona have been tipped to sign Rashford on loan, with a purchase option, and Sherginham admits they are eager to offload a number of players this summer.

“It seems quiet, but I bet there’s lots going on behind the scenes at Manchester United. Other clubs know United’s position,” he added. “They’ve made it known that they’re looking to sell around five players, which signals to other clubs to make them ridiculous offers. “United want these players off the books - they’ve made their bed and they’ve got to lie in it. “They’ll probably take anything from a quarter to a fifth of their asking price for some of them.”

It’s still not clear yet where Rashford will end up next season. He’s clearly surplus to requirements at United, but there’s no guarantee he will play for the Catalans.
