Rashford’s standing as a regular starter in Gareth Southgate’s plans for England at Euro 2024 seems uncertain, with suggestions that unless he departs Manchester United this summer, his career could face further stagnation.
In an article for the Daily Mail, a prominent pundit, referred to as Jordan, remarked, “He came off the bench for 15 minutes against Brazil and didn’t get on against Belgium. He’s not been a central figure for some time and his career appears to be going backwards. He’s become an impact substitute, someone who can come on for the last 20 minutes when the game is stretched. He might not like it but that’s where he is at the moment.”
Jordan expressed some sympathy for Rashford, stating, “I do, however, find a lot of what has been said about Rashford unfair. He’s not a world-class player so I always felt that judging him by those standards put him in a position where he’s always going to fall short. What he needs to do is apply himself, look like he’s interested, engaged and motivated again otherwise he may never reach the levels we saw from him at the beginning of his career.”
Regarding Rashford’s development, Jordan remarked, “The best we saw of him was at the start of his career and a brief rally last season. It’s certainly hard to argue he has become a better player in the last five years. I think he’s got worse, I don’t see any area of his game that has developed. Normally when you get older and move into your prime in sport, and in life, you get better or you find your level. I would suggest he’s found his level.”
Jordan suggested a potential move away from Manchester United, noting, “There has been endless links to Paris Saint-Germain which could be an option if it’s a move he’d be interested in. He won’t go short of a bob or two in France, he’ll win league titles, play in the Champions League and be away from the goldfish bowl of United and the British media. That has its benefits. But I don’t see him moving to a top-six rival which speaks volumes about where both he and United currently are, so he’s limited to potential interest from overseas.”
Rashford initially made a significant impact on the football scene in 2016, rising through Manchester United’s academy. Despite early successes, his career has been marked by inconsistency.
As the 26-year-old strives to regain form with Manchester United before the season’s end, his focus is on earning a place in Southgate’s England squad for the upcoming European Championship in Germany.
