Former Manchester United forward Teddy Sheringham said Rashford “didn’t deserve to make the step up” to Barca after leaving Old Trafford. European football pundit Gabriele Marcotti told Rashford to “get a grip of where you are right now” and laughed at his entourage’s trip to Barcelona last May to try to persuade the Catalans to sign him.
No-one is laughing now though. Rashford not only got his move, he has convinced the doubters in England and the sceptics in Spain. And his next stop is a first-ever visit to the Santiago Bernabeu to play in the biggest club fixture in the world and take on Barca’s eternal rivals Real Madrid.
