Marcus Rashford was expected to become a Manchester United legend after his extraordinary breakthrough in the first team, but the attacker is expected to leave this summer forever
Bruno Fernandes was amazed by the talent of Marcus Rashford when he first arrived in Manchester United. While Rashford's time with his boy's club is taking this summer, his captain's comments show how tragic his departure will be from Old Trafford.
The 27-year-old attacker had a fight in December last year with Red Devils-head coach Ruben Amorim, which was frozen from the team. He managed to secure a loan movement to Aston Villa in January, where he made a positive contribution in the last months of the season until a hamstring injury ended his campaign prematurely.
It is understood that Villa is the option to permanently sign the English international for £ 40 million, with his relationship with Amorim that it was thought to be irreparable. However, it remains uncertain whether Unai Emery is the wage structure of Villa the risk of matching Rashford's reported weekly wage of £ 325,000 at United.
According to The Sun, Serie A Club Inter Milan has now emerged as a possible destination for Rashford, while they want to go back from their Champions League Final Heartbreak last weekend.
Inter was beaten 5-0 by Paris Saint-Germain, a defeat that followed their collapse in the late season in the race to win the Scudetto. Allegedly, club heads believe that Rashford could be a crucial signature and generate supporters.
Their view of Rashford was once reflected by the current United skipper Fernandes. The Portuguese, only a few months after signing for the club in 2020, made clear how good Rashford was if how good he could become in the future.
Fernandes was asked to put together his 'perfect player' and selected Rashford's 'Tempo', which indicates how high he rated the attacker. That is something that will undoubtedly be frustrating for United fans to hear, because it is a blow that the player will not fail to really reach his elevated potential at Old Trafford.
He said in an interview with BT Sport at the time: “I will choose Rashford because I think Rashford has a great pace, but with a great quality. It is sometimes difficult to have that speed to have the quality to do the right things, you know. You know the right moment, to pass, to pass, to pass, to pass, to pass, to pass, to pass, to pass, to pass, to pass, to pass, to pass, to pass, to pass, to pass, to pass, to pass, to pass, to pass, to pass, to pass, to pass, to pass, to pass, to pass, to pass, to pass, to pass, to pass, To succeed, to succeed, to succeed, to succeed.
Fernandes further admitted: “He surprised me a lot. Of course I already knew his qualities, because he is one of the best young players in the world for me. I think I will choose rashy because I will do this for me [pace] Is one of the best qualities he has. “
Rashford, who came to the club as a seven -year -old, showed flashes of world class assets in his 10 seasons in the United First Team, but far too inconsistent. He only managed to score 20 goals or more in all competitions in three seasons, often followed by mediocre or bad campaigns.
During his loan period at Villa, he scored four goals and gave six assists in 17 games, after he managed to secure a regular starting place on Ollie Watkins since the quarter -finals of the Champions League against PSG.
Unfortunately for Villa, a controversial referee decision resulted in the last day of the season against United in that they missed a Champions League spot for the coming season.
Whether that will influence Rashford about his future club is still to be seen, because it was previously reported that he preferred a move to Barcelona.
