Reports from Transfer News Live indicate that Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has reportedly recognized Marcus Rashford as the only player from Manchester United capable of earning a place in his squad.
Guardiola, renowned for his discerning judgment, holds great admiration for the standout player of the Red Devils and believes he could have contributed to his treble-winning team.
Marcus Rashford, a product of Manchester United’s youth system, has solidified his position as a crucial figure for his childhood club. Furthermore, he has earned 59 caps for England, scoring 17 goals for the national team.
While Rashford has made notable contributions to Manchester United, there have been lingering concerns about his consistency. Despite occasional brilliance, the 26-year-old has struggled to maintain peak performance levels consistently throughout his career.
Last season marked Rashford’s peak as he scored 30 goals and provided 11 assists in 56 appearances across various competitions. However, his form has declined this season for Manchester United, with only five goals and six assists in 31 games.
Meanwhile, Manchester City boasts arguably the strongest squad globally and secured the treble last season.
While their attacking strength is unparalleled, Rashford’s versatile skill set could have potentially added depth to their formidable lineup had he been playing for the blue side of Manchester.
