The future of Marcus Rashford is one of the summer soaps in Manchester. The club's child, now 27, seems more than ever to departure, his name being regularly associated with FC Barcelona. While rumors intensify, an iconic voice of the club has decided to get out of silence. And it is not to defend, quite the contrary. In an interview with vitriol, an old glory of Old Trafford delivered a non -appeal verdict on the behavior of the player.
Teddy Sheringham's final verdict
The one who does not chew his words is Teddy Sheringham. The former scorer, hero of the 1999 historic hat -trick, dismantled the attitude of Rashford. For him, the simple fact of wanting to leave the club is an insult. “You don't throw that in the trash by saying you want to leave,”
he launched on Sky Bet. But his most scathing criticism concerns the Barcelona rumor: ” If you go from Manchester United to Barcelona, it is a progression that he has not deserved. »» The sentence is brutal.
For Sheringham, the problem is deep. This is a lack of respect for the institution. “I find this whole episode demoralizing, when I see how I fought at the time to have the privilege of playing for such a huge club. »» He even compares Rashford's attitude to that of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at Arsenal, another departure he had judged “Demoralizing”.
Attitude of Rashford: an icon of Old Trafford hopes that he will not sign at Barça
Rashford, a talent spoiled by his behavior?
The paradox is that Rashford remains an undeniable talent player. In a decade at the club, he scored 138 goals in 426 games. His successful loan at Aston Villa last January (4 goals, 5 assists) proved that he could still be decisive. But for Sheringham, as for many observers, its performances are overshadowed by its attitude and its escapades outside the field, already pointed out by Ruben Amorim.
Sheringham's attack is therefore anything but trivial. She comes from a player who embodies the values of work and dedication that fans expect. He even goes so far as to hope that Rashford “Do not obtain the transfer he covets”. A way of saying that the English striker needs a lesson in humility. It remains to be seen whether Barça leaders, or other large clubs, will hear this warning from a legend who knows the house by heart.
