Barcelona sporting director Deco has suggested that Marcus Rashford suffered from being “too young” when he entered the Manchester United spotlight, coinciding with a challenging moment in the club’s modern history, and is now “happy” again at Camp Nou.
Rashford scored 138 goals in 426 appearances for United from the age of 18 onwards, unexpectedly debuting with a bang in 2016. But the club has been through multiple transitions from different managerial regimes and rebuilds throughout the almost decade since, with Rashford himself perhaps unfairly burdened with a leading role in an underperforming team from the age of 21.
