Manchester United legend Teddy Sheringham says he’s hoping that Marcus Rashford’s impending transfer move to Barcelona fails to materialize this summer.
Sheringham, who expressed disappointment with the England international’s attitude towards the Red Devils, told Sky Sports that Rashford doesn’t deserve a move to the Spanish giant.
“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.
“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.”
Rashford has been a peripheral figure at the Old Trafford outfit since falling out with coach Ruben Amorim last year. This led to the player leaving United for Aston Villa for a loan spell where he scored 4 goals and produced 6 assists in 17 matches.
In his decade-long run at United, Rashford 138 goals in 426 appearances and was once considered to be one of the brightest talents in England. However, he has been pretty inconsistent with his form at the club, scoring 30 goals in 2022/23 season and then returning with just 8 in the 2023/24 season.
