Marcus Rashford risks Man Utd wrath by telling team to copy Liverpool
Marcus Rashford called out Manchester United for failing to stick with a manager since Sir Alex Ferguson, like Liverpool did with Jurgen Klopp. Rashford has completed a loan move to Barcelona for the upcoming season. The England international has now sealed two temporary exits from Old Trafford in succession, having enjoyed a spell at Aston Villa during the latter half of last campaign. Barcelona became a potential destination for him last year when he disclosed in late 2024 his appetite for a new challenge away from his boyhood club. The Spanish club has remained his preferred destination ever since, and Rashford has become the first Englishman to wear the Blaugrana jersey since Gary Lineker arrived in 1986.

He took shots at United, suggesting the club should have followed in the footsteps of Liverpool in the wake of Ferguson's retirement. The 27-year-old believes United has yet to commit to a manager since Ferguson departed in 2013, while Liverpool — who have since moved on with Arne Slot — remained dedicated to Klopp despite a rocky start. This is reflected in the position each club finds itself in now. 'People say we've been in a transition for years, but in order to be in a transition, you have to actually start it,' Rashford said. 'The transition hasn't started. 'When Liverpool got Klopp, they stuck with him. They didn't win in the beginning. But nobody remembers that. But you have to make a plan and stick with it. 'We've had so many managers, that you just end up nowhere, in no-man's land. 100% [it hurts], not just as a player, but as a United fan.' Rashford also lamented the fact that United used to have a proud tradition of producing young players ready for first-team action, but this is no longer the case. He added: 'Under Fergie, the system was the same for the whole academy, so you could pick players from 15 onwards. 'Whereas if you're changing all the time, it's different. It's reactionary. You can't expect to be able to win. 'You might win a cup tournament, because you have a good coach, good players, and a good team. It's not an accident. 'But when I take a step back and think about it, with regard to where people want United to be, what do you expect?' Rashford could make his Barcelona debut when La Liga gets underway this weekend. Barcelona takes on RCD Mallorca at Estadi Mallorca Son Moix on Saturday night, and the club is trying to register its new signings in time to start its title defense.

🚨 Pitch invaded, Vlahovic booed: a lively night for Juve!
Juventus imposed themselves 2-0 against their reserve team, Next Gen, in a summer friendly match. Click here to watch the Juventus-Atalanta match on your OneFootball app for 2.99 euros. Douglas Luiz opened the scoring with a powerful header in the 15th minute, before delivering a decisive pass to Dusan Vlahović for the second goal in the 33rd. A solid performance on the field, but marked by an electric atmosphere. In fact, Vlahović was heavily booed by the crowd, with some criticizing his perceived excessive salary and supposed role in blocking the transfer market. His misses in front of goal initially increased the frustration, before his goal partially eased the pressure However, the match did not go to its conclusion: as every year, a pitch invasion shortly after the break forced the referee to interrupt the match in the 52nd minute. Between goals, tensions, and pitch invasions, this match concentrated in one hour all that makes the uniqueness - and sometimes the excess - of the bianconero universe.
