Sheringham: Rashfords Move to Barcelona Would Be an Unmerited Step Forward

Former Manchester United striker **Teddy Sheringham** shared his thoughts on current forward **Marcus Rashford**, stating that he does not believe Rashford deserves a move to **Barcelona**. It was previously reported that the Catalan club intends to loan the forward for €10 million, with an option to buy for €30 million.

«In evaluating Rashford as a professional footballer, when you’re young, you aspire to play for top clubs like Manchester United, and once you’re there, you need to appreciate it. You shouldn’t just throw everything away and claim you want to leave.

In my opinion, if he departs from Manchester United for Barcelona, it would be a career move that he hasn’t earned. I find this situation quite unfortunate. I hope Rashford does not achieve the transfer he is seeking—he doesn’t deserve it.

I would advise Rashford that he is still young and needs to wise up. He should focus on improving himself as a player. Instead of placing blame on others, he should work hard to return to the starting lineup,» Sheringham was quoted by ESPN.

Rashford is a product of Manchester United’s youth academy. He spent the latter half of the previous season on loan at **Aston Villa**. His current contract with the Manchester club is valid until the summer of 2028.
