Manchester United have a transfer dilemma with multiple players. The club is looking to offload at least five players, but offers have been hard to come by. 

Marcus Rashford is one player who is looking to leave, with the Englishman hoping for a move to Barcelona. 

Rashford, who spent the second half of the 2024/25 season on loan at Aston Villa, has been told he doesn't have a place with United anymore. 

The winger has been training away from the first team, and his character is now being questioned by a United legend, Teddy Sheringham. 

What did Sheringham say about Rashford?

Sheringham spoke to Sky Sports about Rashford's transfer situation and said, "If you assess where Marcus Rashford is at, as a professional footballer, you strive as a youngster to get to the very top and play for clubs like Manchester United, and when you're there you appreciate it. 

"You don't throw it away and say you want to leave."

Rashford has spoken about his future, saying it's his dream to play for Barcelona, who happen to be in the market for a left winger. 

Sheringham continued, "I find the whole episode very soul-destroying, compared to the way I was back in the day and how I strove to get the privilege to play for such a huge football club.

Sheringham likened Rashford's statement to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's desire to leave Arsenal.

The former player concluded, saying, "I hope Rashford doesn't get the move that he's hankering for.

"From my perspective, if you go from Manchester United to Barcelona, that's a step up that he hasn't deserved."
