Teddy Sheringham has predicted which club Marcus Rashford shall be playing for next season and claims the Manchester United forward ‘didn’t deserve’ his ‘unbelievable’ move to Barcelona.
Rashford sealed a dream move to Barca last summer after United sanctioned a second successive loan for the 28-year-old winger.
Nou Camp bosses have been impressed by Rashford’s impact, with the England international scoring 11 goals and making nine assists.
Rashford remodeled 400 appearances for boyhood club Manchester United but fell out of favour under former manager Ruben Amorim.
After spending the second-half of last season on loan at Aston Villa, Rashford moved to Barcelona in the summertime.
Sheringham says Rashford’s form didn’t warrant a move to the Nou Camp but believes he’ll earn a everlasting transfer to Barca after doing ‘thoroughly’ this season.
Asked if Rashford could return to Old Trafford this summer given the change in manager, Sheringham told BestBettingSites: ‘I don’t think it’s concerning the managers — it’s more about what Marcus desires to do.
‘He’s gone over to Barcelona and, for me, he’s got an unbelievable move — didn’t deserve it — but he’s gone there and adjusted his mentality. It looks as if Barcelona need to sign him, so in the event that they do, they probably will.
‘That may make it quite clear he doesn’t want to come back back to United, so he’ll probably find yourself getting what he wants.
‘I’ve not seen a lot Spanish football, but when he got here to Newcastle earlier within the season, within the group stage, he set the place alight. He scored a rocket — he got two that night — and had a very good impact.
‘He’s done thoroughly there, and in the event that they need to sign him, he’s obviously doing thoroughly for them and their hierarchy, in order that’s probably where he’ll find yourself.’
Rashford’s last Manchester United manager Amorim was sacked in January and Michael Carrick has been in control of the side since then as caretaker boss.
The Red Devils stagnated under Amorim but have drastically improved under Carrick, climbing to 3rd within the Premier League, just six points behind Manchester City.
United are yet to make a decision if they may persist with Carrick or look for an additional manager however the ex-England midfielder is believed to be concerned about bringing Rashford back should he be handed the reins on a everlasting basis.
Rashford scored in Barcelona’s 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid on the weekend as Hansi Flick’s side moved seven points clear at the highest of La Liga.
Flick praised the Manchester United loanee after the sport but refused to debate his long-term future on the Nou Camp.
‘I’m very pleased with Marcus,’ Flick said. ‘He has shown his quality and he scored a vital goal.
‘I can’t say anything about his future, now we have to give attention to the matches until the tip of the season.’
Barcelona face Atletico again on Wednesday night in the primary leg of their Champions League quarter-final.
Rashford’s parent club Manchester United last played a game on March 20 and eventually return to motion on Monday night against Leeds United.
