Marcus Rashford, marginalized in Manchester United, compared to the legend of Arsenal, Thierry Henry, saying that she became a “free player”.

Rashford experienced difficulties during the first half of the 2024-25 season in United, which led him to be loaned to Aston Villa during the January transfer window. At Villa Park, the English striker regained confidence and ended the season in style under the leadership of Unai Emery.

What future for Marcus Rashford?

Rashford is back in Old Trafford, but his future at the club remains uncertain. He was mentioned for a final departure from the Red Devils this summer, Barcelona being apparently interested in the recruitment of the attacker. Faced with speculation about his future, the English international confided in his football transformation, comparing himself to the French football icon, Thierry Henry.

Rashford, the new Henry

Addressing the Spanish Youtube Xbuyer channel in Marbella, the 27 -year -old said: ” I recognize myself in Henry. He is comfortable on the left and also in the middle. He's a free player. As I progress, the number 9 position has become more comfortable, more natural. Playing back to the goal, for example, becomes easier for me. We are always in front of the goal and always dangerous. »»

The player trained in Manchester United is currently enjoying his vacation before returning to the club next month for pre-season training, unless he changes clubs in the meantime.
