Manchester United legend feels €50m-rated winger ‘does not deserve' Barcelona move
Speaking to Sky Sports, Sheringham expressed his disappointment over the forward's desire to leave, labelling the entire situation as 'soul-destroying.'
Rashford, who has spent a decade at Manchester United, has scored 138 goals in 426 appearances for the club. However, his recent career trajectory has been rocky.
In January, he joined Aston Villa on loan, looking for a fresh start after a breakdown in his relationship with manager Ruben Amorim.
During his stint at Villa, Rashford managed 2 goals and 3 assists in the Premier League, but after missing out on Champions League football on the final day of the season, Villa chose not to make the move permanent.
Now, Rashford finds himself in limbo. He has handed in a transfer request and made it clear he wants to leave Old Trafford.
With Barcelona ramping up their search for a winger following Nico Williams' contract renewal at Athletic Club, Rashford has emerged as one of the names on their radar.

Despite the links, Sheringham believes Rashford has not done enough to justify such a move.
'If you assess where Marcus Rashford is as a professional footballer, you strive as a youngster to reach the top and play for clubs like Manchester United.
'When you get there, you should appreciate it,' Sheringham said.
He added, 'You don't just throw it away and say you want to leave. I find the whole episode soul-destroying. Back in my day, players dreamed of this kind of opportunity.
'To hear Rashford talking like this reminds me of when Aubameyang forced his way out of Arsenal, and I didn't like that either.'
Sheringham went even further, stating, 'From my perspective, going from Manchester United to Barcelona is a step up that Rashford hasn't earned.'
As Rashford waits for clarity on his future, Barcelona are still undecided. For now, the English forward remains at the centre of a transfer saga that continues to divide opinion.

América and LAFC reportedly extend Javairo Dilrosun's loan one more day so he can play against Portland Timbers on Friday
Has scored two goals in five appearances for LAFC Not part of Club América's future plans, the club wants to sell him LAFC reportedly interested in extending his loan WHAT HAPPENED? Dutch winger Javairo Dilrosun will reportedly remain with LAFC for an extra day after the MLS club reached an agreement with Club América, allowing him to feature in this Friday's match against the Portland Timbers. According to Tom Bogert, he will be eligible for the match, but his future is still to be determined with the club. THE BIGGER PICTURE According to ESPN, América are looking to sell Dilrosun during the current transfer window to free up a foreign player slot - key to André Jardine's plans for a new signing in the coming weeks. However, LAFC is also exploring the possibility of keeping the Dutchman on loan for a longer spell. Dilrosun is under contract with América through December 2026, but the Mexican club is working to terminate the deal early. In seven MLS appearances, he has scored twice, including a crucial goal in the 'El Tráfico' derby against the LA Galaxy. According to other reports, Dilrosun could also be included as part of a potential deal that would bring LAFC star Denis Bouanga to América. DID YOU KNOW? In just five MLS appearances, Dilrosun has already scored twice - a notable contrast to his time at Club América, where he managed just three goals across 52 matches. His early form with LAFC has certainly been a bright spot. WHAT NEXT FOR LOS ANGELES FC? Steve Cherundolo's team currently sits fifth in the Western Conference with 36 points. While the futures of Bouanga and Dilrosun are still being decided, both players are expected to feature in Friday's away match against the Portland Timbers.

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING A popular Arsenal fan account, WelBeast, wrote: "We cannot compete. Liverpool are trying to buy the league again." Another Arsenal fan, Big Willy, posted: "95m for a 15 goal striker who needs to work on his touch, finessing his finishing & his physicality." A Chelsea fan handle, @MeasuredByMagic, took a dig at the Liverpool fanbase as the post read: "2 £80m forwards and their fans claim they don't spend - just admit you do like us all and play some footie." Kobby, a Manchester City fan, drew comparisons between Ekitike and Haaland as he wrote: "Hugo Ekitike has scored 44 career goals in his professional career. Haaland has 44 goals scored last season Alone. One cost 95M btw." THE BIGGER PICTURE A six-year contract has been lined up for Ekitike, who is expected to agree on personal terms with Liverpool. The 23-year-old forward was also linked with Newcastle when the Reds were said to be exploring the possibility of prising Alexander Isak away from St. James' Park. WHAT NEXT FOR LIVERPOOL? Slot's men will play their first pre-season friendly of their Asia tour on Saturday as they take on AC Milan at Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong.
