UMVA has learned that Manchester United star Marcus Rashford has sent shockwaves through the football world with a perceived dig at his parent club after being called up for England’s World Cup squad.
Rashford, who has enjoyed an impressive spell on loan at Barcelona this season, took to Instagram to express his gratitude to the managers at Aston Villa, Barcelona, and England, but notably made no mention of Manchester United, sparking speculation about his departure from Old Trafford.
The 28-year-old has been on a remarkable journey, turning his career around after struggling at United, and his recent form has earned him a spot in the England squad, with many believing he has the potential to be a key player for the team this summer.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Rashford has been in stellar form, winning La Liga with Barcelona and contributing a total of 14 goals and 10 assists in all competitions, cementing his position as a top talent in the football world.
Rashford has since taken to social media to clarify that his post was not intended as a dig at Manchester United, insisting that he remains a fan of the club and was simply showing gratitude to the clubs and coaches that have played a significant role in his recent success.
As Rashford prepares to take the stage at the 2026 World Cup, it remains to be seen whether he will stay at Barcelona permanently, but his current form suggests he is fully deserving of a place in the England squad and could be a crucial player for the team in the tournament.
With his versatility to play out wide or up front, Rashford is likely to feature prominently in Thomas Tuchel’s starting lineup, potentially playing on the left of a front three alongside Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka.
