MUFC Needs Rashford To Succeed At Barcelona – Steve McManaman

Manchester United needs Marcus Rashford to succeed at Barcelona, Steve McManaman has said. He recently revealed that the Red Devils shouldn’t think of his situation as a PR disaster if the forward thrives in Spain.

According to him, the change was much needed for both Rashford and MUFC, and he sees nothing wrong with the club and player parting ways when it’s just not working out on the pitch.

Steve added that Marcus was not happy under Ruben Amorim; therefore, his exit was simply inevitable.

His words, “I think the latter. People will turn it into a PR disaster, of course they will, but I think the change needed to happen. You look now, if Jadon Sancho went somewhere to win the Champions League, that wouldn’t be a PR disaster. It just wasn’t working out at Manchester United with the manager.

They needed a change. If [Rashford] has a great season with Barcelona and he’s successful, maybe it will add value to him. I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s a PR disaster, I think change needs to happen with the manager if you’re not particularly happy. But if he does well and adds value to his price tag, that’s all well and good.

But with all due respect, I don’t want Barcelona to win the Champions League! We’ll leave it at that!

I saw [Rashford] at the Mallorca game, he’s going to have a lot of opportunities this year. Barcelona are a little bit light up top, Robert Lewandowski has only just come back, so they’re going to have to utilise him a lot this year. It’s a wonderful opportunity at a wonderful club in a wonderful city.”

WOW.

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.

Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.

The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
