He scored 30 goals two years ago. Why was Rashford, who is only 27 years old, abandoned by Manchester United?

After entering the offseason, Marcus Rashford said on social media and interviews many times that he only has one team he wants to join, that is Barcelona in La Liga. Recently, Rashford has also realized his wish. Manchester United and Barcelona have officially reached an agreement. Barcelona will bear all of Rashford's salary next season, so as to get Rashford on loan at zero expense, and the loan contract also includes a buyout fee of 35 million euros. Since then, it is likely that it will be difficult for the 27-year-old Manchester United forward to return to Manchester United.

You should know that two years ago, in the 22-23 season, Rashford was still an important core of Manchester United. Not only did he score an astonishing 30 goals throughout the year, he also gave away 9 assists. With his help, the team won the League Cup championship without being favored, which has saved some face. However, in just two years, he went from being a dream theater darling to an abandoned son. Why was Rashford, who was only 27 years old now and was in his year of playing, was given up by Manchester United? Let's find out now!

1. The decline in competitive levels are inconsistent with high salaries.

The so-called "British Emperor Star" seems to be unable to escape the law of declining state at a young age. From Gascoin back then to Rooney later, to Rashford now, they all became famous at a young age and shone in the entire football world, but they all started to experience a significant decline at their peak. Although he also scored 39 goals in the 22-23 season, by the 23-24 season, Rashford's data had been reduced to 8 goals and 5 assists. With Amorin taking office this time, Rashford, who had conflicts with Amorin's coaching system, only contributed 7 goals and 3 assists in total. Therefore, during the winter window last season, he was loaned to Aston Villa by the team. Of course, Rashford has the ability, but compared with his weekly salary of up to £325,000, his contribution is too limited. With the weekly salary cap of 250,000 pounds and the salary of many players in the team has been reduced, Rashford's departure has become inevitable. Moreover, after many conflicts in the past two years, Rashford is no longer willing to stay with the team.

2. Contradicting the team system, it has lost its position.

In addition, Manchester United has always wanted to clean up Rashford. In addition to his high salary, the conflict between him and the team has reached an irreconcilable level. The formation promoted by Amorin requires the front midfielder to take on more in-depth running and rib interlude, which is completely different from Rashford's system in Tenhager. His past impact on the left side has no room for display. According to data, his successful breakthroughs at Manchester United last season were reduced by 41%, and his role was greatly weakened, which is also a major reason why he lost his position at Manchester United. Of course, after Amorin took office, he also had various conflicts with some old players from the Tenhager era. For example, in the Europa League final, the young Garnacho was dissatisfied in public, and even once came to a situation where "I have no you, you have no me." Rashford was even more miserable. Amorin even adopted "isolated management" against him. Rashford was asked to go to Carrington base alone to resume training after the first team training, and strictly prohibit him from contacting new players. This ruthless method has aroused strong dissatisfaction among the players. Therefore, this also accelerated Rashford's mood, so he chose to publicly surrender to Barcelona on social media.

3. He lost all his reputation at Manchester United, and he had a strong desire to go to Barcelona.

Finally, let’s talk about some off-court details. In the early years, Rashford was called the “son of choice”. In the era of Mourinho’s coaching, Rashford stood out from youth training and became a super newcomer to save the team. During that period, both the management and teammates, including fans, regarded him as his favorite. But in recent years, he has become more and more Pogba's flavor, and almost completely ignores the management of off-site image and has become a catalyst for contradiction. And in this case, he still did his own thing, and was revealed to have missed tactical meetings many times, and was perfunctory in the training for defensive positioning. This bad professional attitude led to the loss of others' hearts. His locker in the locker room had been emptied before and was completely marginalized. The last straw that overwhelmed the team was that since the winter window, he has been expressing his strong desire to join Barcelona openly and secretly. Therefore, this summer, even if Barcelona did not accept Rashford, other teams would inevitably take over. It can only be said that although both sides have had sweet moments, at this stage, nothing can be changed.
