Overview
- Speaking on The Wayne Rooney Show, the former United captain called it "easier to blame the environment" and argued that effort, not context, explains games where Rashford "can do more."
- Rashford told ITV he had been in an "inconsistent environment for a very long time" at Old Trafford and said he is focused on delivering greater consistency.
- Now 27, Rashford has three goals and five assists in 10 appearances for Barcelona on a season‑long loan that includes a non‑mandatory option to buy reported in the mid‑£20m to low‑£30m range.
- He fell out of favour under Ruben Amorim at United, featuring six times before a January loan to Aston Villa, and his revival has earned an England recall under Thomas Tuchel.
- Other ex-United figures, including Roy Keane and Gary Neville, also questioned his rationale, while Sergio Aguero praised Rashford’s bright start in Spain.
