Marcus Rashford tackles the comments made by Gary Lineker during the Barcelona unveiling and his reaction said a lot
While addressed to the media during his disclosure of Barcelona, a journalist interviewed Marcus Rashford on the recent comments from Gary Lineker concerning his departure from Manchester United – and his response said a lot.
Rashford was announced Wednesday evening as a Barcelona player, with the international in England who joined the rest of the 2025/26 campaign.
After an agreement that will see Barça cover his salary of £ 325,000 per week was agreed last weekend, the 27-year-old joined the manager Hansi Flick and the sports director of the Deco of Ciutat Esportiva Training Groom on Monday.
The passage of Rashford from Manchester to the Catalan giants has certainly become a great subject of discussion lately, and the former Barcelona striker Gary Lineker made his verdict without frills in the movement before the announcement on Wednesday.
Talk to BrandLineker said: “Barça hasn’t had English in their team for a long time, and it’s a good signature.
“He is a great player. He has had his problems in United in recent years; he has not played much, but he has a lot of talent. The problem is Manchester United; those who came out of there played better elsewhere.”
Lineker added: “He is very fast, very dangerous and a good person. I hope he can show his level. There are a lot of games played these days, and more starters are necessary. And Marcus has a high quality. I think he will be a great signature for Barça.”
Two days after the emergence of the quotes and Rashford was asked about the comments of Lineker while he spoke to the media during his disclosure of Barcelona.
As you can see in the images below, a journalist asked if he agreed with Lineker, who said that the problem was Manchester United rather than Rashford himself.
He replied: “The situation with Manchester United is that the club is going through a period of change, and this has been in progress for some time. I have nothing negative to say on Manchester United.”
Rashford added: I think it was an important role not only of my career, but also in my life, so I am grateful for the opportunity to play for them. But football is the same as life, not everything happens as simple as you thought. This is my next step, my next chapter. “”

Fan of Boyhood United and a graduate of the academy, Rashford found himself frozen in Old Trafford under Ruben Amorim after the Portuguese disputed his level of performance in the training.
Having been abandoned from the match team for the Manchester derby victory in December, Rashford no longer appeared for United and spent the second half of the season on loan to Aston Villa.
His form saw him win a reminder for the England team, but she did not change his situation to United, where he had his n ° 10 removed and was placed in a so-called “ bombs ‘team’ alongside Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia.
