In a candid and telling statement, Marcus Rashford has spoken out about his decision to leave Manchester United and he isn’t holding back. The newly unveiled Barcelona forward has publicly urged one of his former teammates to follow in his footsteps and make the move to Camp Nou.
Rashford:
“He should come join me here in Barcelona… He’s going to perform better here. Ruben Amorim is not the type of manager he should be playing under if he wants to succeed that’s exactly why I left in the first place.”
The remark reveals more than just personal frustration it’s a direct critique of Ruben Amorim, who recently took over managerial duties at Manchester United. Rashford, known for his loyalty to the club in previous years, appears to believe that Amorim’s system is driving talent away.
“Ruben is chasing all of our good players with what he’s doing,” Rashford added, making it clear that he’s not alone in his concerns about the current direction at Old Trafford.
What This Means
Rashford’s comments highlight a deeper unrest within the Manchester United dressing room. His words suggest that players who once formed the heart of United’s squad are disillusioned with the new regime, and some may now be looking to Barcelona as a fresh start — especially with Hansi Flick’s attacking, expressive system proving more enticing.
Barcelona, on the other hand, is transforming into a magnet for top-tier players who feel stifled in their current environments. With Rashford already settling into life in Catalonia and advocating for reinforcements from his former club, it wouldn’t be surprising to see another familiar face join him soon.
One thing is clear: Marcus Rashford has turned the page and he’s inviting others to do the same.
