Under contract with Manchester United until 2028, Marcus Rashford has not been one of the plans of the Red Devils for a long time. Considered the future boss of Old Trafford, the British international lost influence last season, to the point of being loaned last winter to Aston Villa (2 goals, 3 assists in 10 Premier League matches). Six months later, the player did not wish to stay in Birmingham, but he did not want to return under the orders of Ruben Amorim.
Freshly arrived in Catalonia, on the side of FC Barcelona, in the form of a loan, Marcus Rashford hopes to take advantage of this unexpected opportunity to revive. But before, he did not hesitate to point the finger at the dubious management of the Red Devils in the podcast The Rest is football. Clearly, the player denounces the lack of strategy of a club now directed by Sir Jim Ratcliff. Strong remarks that are not likely to plead for a comeback in Mu once its loan in the Blaugranas finished.
Mu has no plan
“We see it in all the teams that have been successful over a long period: they have principles to which any new coach or player must comply or be able to make their contribution. While sometimes I have the impression that Manchester United was content to … We are thirsty for victory, so we always try to adapt and recruit players who correspond to this system. But it is a reactionary approach. If your orientation is constantly changing, you cannot hope to win the championship ”he said, before concluding with words that will please Amorim …
“Yes, you can win a few cups, but it's because you have a good coach, good players and decisive players in your team. You are not there by chance. This is what some people forget. So yes, we are well below the level we believe to be that of United. But if you take a step back, what I have done, especially in the last six months, what were you expecting? People say that we have been in transition for years. To be in transition, you have to start the transition. It is therefore as if the transition had not yet started. To start a transition, you have to establish a plan and stick to it. This is what I feel: it is not easy. Because if it doesn't work, fans require a change. I have the impression that we had so many different managers, different ideas and different strategies to win … that we find ourselves in the middle, in a no man's land. »» As a reminder, MU finished 15th in the last Premier League exercise and “consumed” ten coaches in twelve years, after the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson.
