Marcus Rashford’s future at Manchester United has been hanging in the balance lately, with many wondering how Sir Alex Ferguson would have handled this situation.

One former star of the club has shared his thoughts on what Ferguson might have done if he were still in charge today.

Rashford’s Bombshell Admission

In a shocking interview last month, Rashford, 27, revealed he is considering leaving his boyhood club.

Since then, the England international has found himself out of favor, failing to feature under Ruben Amorim.

The forward hasn’t made much of an impact in recent weeks, with just one matchday squad appearance over the past month.

Clubs like AC Milan, Barcelona, and Borussia Dortmund are reportedly keen on signing him as his future grows uncertain.

Teddy Sheringham’s Surprising Opinion

Teddy Sheringham, who played a pivotal role in Manchester United’s 1999 Champions League victory, couldn’t hide his surprise at Rashford’s comments.

Sheringham expressed his disbelief at Rashford’s desire to leave, particularly because the forward is from Manchester, a city whose football culture values the privilege of playing for United.

“I just don’t get it,” Sheringham shared with OLBG.

“When it’s someone from Manchester saying they want a new challenge, it’s even more surprising. Every young player dreams of playing for United, and Marcus is saying he wants to move on.”

Sheringham believes that if Ferguson were still at the helm, Rashford’s situation would have been handled much differently.

“Fergie would’ve booted him out the door by now,” he stated.

“The way he’s talking about a new challenge, there’s no way back for him at Manchester United.”

The Path Ahead for Rashford

Rashford has not played in any of United’s last seven matches, starting with his absence from the squad in the 2-1 derby win over Manchester City on December 15.

Just days later, he spoke to journalist Henry Winter, revealing his desire for a fresh challenge away from the club.

Since then, negotiations over a potential transfer have taken place, leaving Rashford frozen out of the squad.

With his future uncertain, it’s unclear whether he’ll be involved in United’s upcoming Premier League match against Southampton on Thursday.
