Marcus Rashford doesn't deserve move to Barcelona: Sheringham slams Man United star
Marcus Rashford's future at Manchester United has come under increased scrutiny amid growing speculation linking him to a potential move to FC Barcelona. However, former United striker Teddy Sheringham has questioned whether the England international deserves such a transfer, criticising his recent approach to his who rose through the ranks at United and once looked poised to become one of the club's marquee stars, has seen his role diminish in recent seasons. Following the appointment of Ruben Amorim as manager, the 27-year-old has struggled to break into the starting XI and was sent out on loan to Aston Villa last season in search of regular game to Sky Sports, Sheringham expressed disappointment over how Rashford has handled his current situation, suggesting that the forward has lost sight of the opportunity he once had at Old Trafford. 'You strive as a youngster to get to the very top and play for clubs like United, and when you're there, you appreciate it. You don't throw it away and say you want to leave. I find the whole episode very soul-destroying,' Sheringham United appear to be planning for a future without Rashford. The club recently confirmed the arrival of Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers, with the Brazilian forward set to take over the iconic No. 10 shirt. It is a strong indicator that the club may be preparing for a change in its attacking did not hold back in his assessment of Rashford's reported desire to move to Spain, arguing that the striker has not done enough to earn such a high-profile switch.'I hope Rashford doesn't get the move that he's hankering for. If you go from Manchester United to Barcelona, that is a step up he hasn't deserved,' he from Cunha and full-back Diego Leone, Manchester United have yet to make significant additions in the transfer market. With Rashford's place in the team increasingly uncertain, the coming weeks could prove decisive in determining whether he stays at Old Trafford or seeks a fresh start elsewhere in Europe.- EndsMust Watch

Rashford does not deserve Barcelona move: Former Man Utd striker Sheringham on ‘soul-destroying' transfer saga
New Delhi: Former Manchester United striker Teddy Sheringham let his feelings towards Marcus Rashford's potential move to FC Barcelona known and described the episode as "soul destroying". As per reports, Barcelona is Rashford's preferred destination but Sheringham believes Rashford does not deserve the step up. "If you assess where Marcus Rashford is at, as a professional footballer, you strive as a youngster to get to the very top and play for clubs like Manchester Utd, and when you're there, you appreciate it. You don't throw it away and say you want to leave,' said Sheringham to Sky Bet. The former Man Utd man also compared the situation to Pierre Emerick Aubameyang's who left Arsenal after a falling out with Mikel Arteta and joined Barcelona. 'I find the whole episode very soul-destroying, compared to the way I was back in the day and how I strove to get the privilege to play for such a huge football hear someone talking the way he is talking, saying he wants out - I didn't like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang doing that at Arsenal, I thought it was soul-destroying, and I hope Rashford doesn't get the move that he's hankering for. From my perspective, if you go from Manchester Utd to Barcelona, that's a step up that he hasn't deserved,' he added. Rashford had made 15 Premier League appearances for Man Utd in the 2024/25 season and also scored in head coach Ruben Amorim's first match - a 1-1 draw at Ipswich Town on 24 November - before adding two more in a 4-0 win over Everton a week later. He had not played since being left out of the squad for the Manchester derby on December 15, after a falling out with the Portuguese head coach, before signing for Aston Villa on loan in February. Manchester United are struggling in the transfer market given they need to clean house before looking to spend big. With players like Antony, Jadon Sancho, Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho having made it clear they want to leave Old Trafford this summer, Sheringham believes United's inability to sell is due to other clubs knowing United's position. "It's very easy to spend money on players, but it's hard to recoup it. It seems quiet, but I bet there's lots going on behind the scenes at Manchester Utd. Other clubs know Utd's position. They've made it known that they're looking to sell around five players, which signals to other clubs to make them ridiculous offers,' Sheringham said.

Teddy Sheringham upset by ‘soul-destroying' Man Utd and Marcus Rashford saga
The 27-year-old is on the lookout for a new club having spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa after falling out with boss Ruben Amorim and admitting he was 'ready for a new challenge'. Rashford is among five players to have informed United they wish to explore a future away from Old Trafford, where he came through the academy and scored 138 goals in 426 first-team appearances. The England international, who has lost the number 10 shirt to summer signing Matheus Cunha, is attracting interest from Barcelona and former striker Sheringham admits he finds the whole situation unpalatable. 'If you assess where Marcus Rashford is at as a professional footballer, you strive as a youngster to get to the very top and play for clubs like Manchester United, and when you're there, you appreciate it,' the ex-United player told Sky Bet. 'You don't throw it away and say you want to leave. 'I find the whole episode very soul-destroying, compared to the way I was back in the day and how I strove to get the privilege to play for such a huge football club. 'To hear someone talking the way he is talking, saying he wants out – I didn't like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang doing that at Arsenal, I thought it was soul-destroying, and I hope Rashford doesn't get the move that he's hankering for. 'From my perspective, if you go from Manchester United to Barcelona, that's a step up that he hasn't deserved.' Rashford is joined by Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia in searching for a new home as Amorim looks to rebuild a side which stumbled home into 15th place in the Premier League last term. United have made their stance on the quintet clear, which Sheringham believes has hurt their negotiating position as their transfer business has 'stagnated' as they seek to offload players to help aid additions. 'It's very easy to spend money on players, but it's hard to recoup it,' he said. 'It seems quiet, but I bet there's lots going on behind the scenes at Manchester United. Other clubs know United's position. Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Tyrell Malacia are up for sale (Martin Rickett/PA) 'They've made it known that they're looking to sell around five players, which signals to other clubs to make them ridiculous offers. 'I would assume that's what football clubs are doing around Europe, and Manchester United are turning them down at the moment. 'The longer that goes on, I reckon those offers might be a little less ridiculous, but United want these players off the books – they've made their bed and they've got to lie in it. 'They'll probably take anything from a quarter to a fifth of their asking price for some of them.'

Man Utd accused of major transfer failure as legend points out 'obvious' error
Man Utd have spent more than £1.5bn on players in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era, with legend Teddy Sheringham accusing them of failing to identify and sign the right targets Manchester United have been accused of wasting hundreds of millions of pounds on sub-standard players and vanity signings that have plunged the fallen giants into their biggest crisis for half a century. United ended last season in 15th place, their worst-ever Premier League finish, and missed out on European football for only the second time in 35 years after losing the Europa League final to Tottenham. The Red Devils have spent more than £1.5billion on players in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era, yet have failed to compete for the Premier League title in that time and lost their way as a major force in world football. Money has been wasted on flops like Angel Di Maria, Alexis Sanchez, Morgan Schneiderlin, Paul Pogba, Romelu Lukau, Fred, Donny van de Beek, Jadon Sancho and Antony, none of whom delivered on their exorbitant fees or wages. United legend Teddy Sheringham, part of the historic Treble-winning side of 1999, accused his former club of losing the values that made the club great – particularly when it comes to the recruitment of players. 'I think United have been valuing the wrong things in players for a long time now,' said Sheringham. 'Sir Alex Ferguson, he always identified those deeper qualities in players. Whenever a player with a big upside was available, United and Fergie were in for them. 'I think of the likes of Gary Pallister, Roy Keane, Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand and more. They were great players before United and they wanted to sign for United because they knew what the manager could do to make them into top, top players. 'That doesn't seem to be the case anymore. More and more players recognise that their careers will do better if they go somewhere else. 'If you get great players at an early age, and move them up to the very top of their game, it sets an example that other players want to follow. There's not enough leaders at Manchester United at the moment. And that's exactly where they're failing.' Sheringham cited Scott McTominay to support his claim, the title-winning Napoli midfielder having just been crowned Serie A player of the season just a year after United sold him to the Italian club. 'I think they knew he was a good player, maybe not to the degree that he's performed this past season,' said Sheringham, speaking to Racing Tipster. 'But let's have a look at his attitude, his leadership qualities, the way he plays the game and the way he carries himself. 'I thought these qualities were obvious for United and for Scotland. Every time he pulled on the Scotland shirt, you could tell he was a leader - and United fans loved him. He has that British mentality where he knows and understands what it means to play for United, to represent his country and all that. 'The issue with what United did, for me, is that you've got to read the signs. They should have rated his leadership qualities, and all the things he brought to the table. 'Okay, I understand that to go and be the player of the year in Italy last season is phenomenal. But the signs were there that he was capable of that. It's exactly what United have been missing at the moment. He leads by example, and that's how football clubs get better and stronger.'
