Barcelona loanee Marcus Rashford has expressed his thoughts on the ongoing difficulties at his parent club, Manchester United.
According to the England international, the team has become “too reactionary.”
Rashford, who spent the previous season at Aston Villa and is currently on loan at Barcelona, feels the club has strayed from its core values.
He believes those foundational principles disappeared following Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure from Old Trafford.
Speaking on the Rest is Football podcast, Rashford explained that while the club remains eager to win silverware, it lacks consistency in its approach.
The forward, who came through United’s youth system, also pointed out that the frequent managerial changes have had a damaging impact on the team.
“When Ferguson was in charge, not only were there principles for the first team but they were for the whole academy. So you could pick players from 15 years and they’d all understand the principles of playing the Manchester United way,” he said.
“Any team that has been successful over a period of time has principles that mean that any coach or player that comes in has to align to or add to the principles.
“At times, United were hungry to win, but it was reactionary. If your direction is always changing you can’t expect to win the league.”
Barcelona have an option to sign Rashford permanently next summer.
