Marcus Rashford returns from his loan to Aston Villa with honorable statistics (4 goals, 5 assists in 17 games). However, he may well find a closed door to Old Trafford. While he is about to find Manchester United, the English striker is likely to face an icy welcome. According to an emblematic figure of the Red Devils, Rashford would no longer really be welcome in his training club. A surprising, but firm revelation.
It was Ryan Giggs, undisputed legend of Manchester United, who publicly took a stand against the return of the English player. Invited to express themselves in the Webby and O'Neil program, Giggs has not hidden its skepticism: “Rashford leaves a bitter taste. He is a child from the club, he emerged here, but I don't see a way for him with us now. »» Hard words that highlight a deep break between Rashford and the Mancunian club, seeming to confirm that his adventure under the orders of Ruben Amorim could indeed be over.

Giggs has particularly insisted on the discomfort felt by Rashford in recent seasons in Manchester. “He was not happy, he seemed under pressure and no longer appreciated his football”says the former midfielder. Rashford, according to him, would have definitively lost his place in United, because Amorim would have already made his decision, undoubtedly influenced by the need to generate funds to renew his workforce. An unfavorable context for a player yet appreciated in the past.
Rashford returns far from Old Trafford
In Aston Villa, Rashford clearly found a taste for football under the orders of Unai Emery, even going so far as to carry out a beautiful European campaign. Giggs readily recognizes that the player “Needed freedom, a place where he feels loved.” He admits having lived his best years himself as a player when he felt free and fulfilled on the field, which was obviously no longer the case for Rashford in Manchester.
While the return to Old Trafford is taking shape in uncertainty, Rashford will undoubtedly have to consider a future elsewhere. Giggs is categorical: Rashford is no longer welcome. Manchester United therefore seems ready to turn the page, and Rashford will probably have to look for a club where he can finally flourish.
