🚨 Marcus Rashford on how he returned to Manchester United:
“During & after Villa,,, I knew one thing…I couldn’t keep playing against United every season. It just didn’t feel right. That’s how Barcelona came about. Lately, I told my agent, ‘If United isn’t possible, then keep me abroad. Don’t bring me another Premier League club.’
A few weeks later I spoke to Rio. I told him I needed help finding the next step in Europe.
He laughed and said, ‘You’ve spent your whole career trying to make United proud… why are you giving up after one bad chapter?’ I didn’t think much of it at the time.
Later that evening my phone rangg. It was Michael Carrick. We spoke for a while, then just before he hung up he asked me one question.
‘Marcus… do you still believe you can become the player Old Trafford used to sing about?’ I sat there for a few seconds.
I realised I’d spent months trying to convince other clubs I was still good enough… when the only club I ever wanted to prove it to was Manchester United.”
@SteveTheScholar They just look more professional than we do, last night wasn’t all lineup. Totally winnable for us. We need a manager that will have these guys looking mean!
