Máire Treasa Ní Cheallaigh: Sorry, Cork fans – but if you are a true supporter, you stay to the bitter end
This is not a dig at Rebel County supporters, but the sight of many of them leaving early in the All-Ireland hurling final brought to mind one of sport's great unwritten laws Legend has it that when Teddy Sheringham scored an injury-time equaliser against Bayern Munich in the 1999 Champions League final in Barcelona, the late George Best had already left the Nou Camp, and therefore also missed the winner scored by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, that brought the historic treble to Manchester United. I wasn't lucky enough to be at that game, but I do remember seeing it on TV, watching the rivers of red jerseys snaking their way out the stadium when it looked like Alex Ferguson's men just weren't up to the task. This was shortly followed by scenes of horrified joy when those fans realised what they had missed by leaving early.

Man Utd legend slams Marcus Rashford over 'soul-destroying' character
Manchester United have a transfer dilemma with multiple players. The club is looking to offload at least five players, but offers have been hard to come by. Marcus Rashford is one player who is looking to leave, with the Englishman hoping for a move to Barcelona. Rashford, who spent the second half of the 2024/25 season on loan at Aston Villa, has been told he doesn't have a place with United anymore. The winger has been training away from the first team, and his character is now being questioned by a United legend, Teddy Sheringham. What did Sheringham say about Rashford? Sheringham spoke to Sky Sports about Rashford's transfer situation and said, "If you assess where Marcus Rashford is at, as a professional footballer, you strive as a youngster to get to the very top and play for clubs like Manchester United, and when you're there you appreciate it. "You don't throw it away and say you want to leave." 📲 Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp Rashford has spoken about his future, saying it's his dream to play for Barcelona, who happen to be in the market for a left winger. Sheringham continued, "I find the whole episode very soul-destroying, compared to the way I was back in the day and how I strove to get the privilege to play for such a huge football club. Sheringham likened Rashford's statement to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's desire to leave Arsenal. The former player concluded, saying, "I hope Rashford doesn't get the move that he's hankering for. "From my perspective, if you go from Manchester United to Barcelona, that's a step up that he hasn't deserved."

Manchester United legend feels €50m-rated winger ‘does not deserve' Barcelona move
Manchester United legend Teddy Sheringham has publicly criticised Marcus Rashford for seeking a move away from Old Trafford, particularly to Barcelona. 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.

'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. *Player valuation in title obtained from on date of publication.

Marcus Rashford ‘doesn't DESERVE' Barcelona transfer says Man Utd legend who blasts his actions as ‘soul destroying'
MANCHESTER UNITED icon Teddy Sheringham claims Marcus Rashford 'does not deserve' a summer move to Barcelona. The Spaniards are reportedly weighing up a swoop for Red Devils misfit Rashford, who is out of Ruben Amorim's plans. 4 4 The versatile United forward has just returned from a loan at Aston Villa, having declared that he was 'ready for a new challenge' in December. And he has even been keeping fit at Carrington while he hunts for a new club, with rivals Liverpool linked with a shock move yesterday. But Rashford has long dreamed of turning out for Barcelona at the Nou Camp. And that dream could become a reality as the Spaniards hunt for a new left-sider. They had initially wanted Nico Williams, but he ended up signing a new contract with Athletic Bilbao. Another target, Luis Diaz, is now being chased by Bayern Munich for big money. And Rashford could end up being the man Barcelona pick to boost their attacking options. However, legendary hitman Sheringham reckons a move to Spain would not be a just reward for Rashford's antics. The 1999 Treble clincher, who struck a 91st minute equaliser in the Champions League final against Bayern Munich just moments before Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's dramatic winner, feels Rashford's push to leave his boyhood club is 'soul destroying.' Sheringham believes that given United's current state, a move to Barcelona would definitely be a 'step up.' Marcus Rashford says he wants to play with Lamine Yamal at Barcelona in transfer plea 4 4 However, he feels Rashford is not deserving of that and hopes a transfer to Catalonia does not go through. Sheringham told Sky Bet: 'If you assess where Marcus Rashford is at, as a professional footballer, you strive as a youngster to get to the very top and play for clubs like Manchester United, and when you're there, you appreciate it. 'You don't throw it away and say you want to leave. From my perspective, if you go from United to Barcelona, that's a step up he hasn't deserved. 'I find the whole episode very soul-destroying, compared to the way I was back in the day and how I strove to get the privilege to play for such a huge football club. 'To hear someone talking the way he is talking, saying he wants out – I didn't like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang doing that at Arsenal, I thought it was soul destroying. 'I hope Rashford doesn't get the move that he's hankering for.'

Marcus Rashford ‘does not deserve' Barcelona says Man Utd legend
Marcus Rashford has been told he does not deserve a move to Barcelona, with a former Manchester United Treble-winner describing the transfer saga as 'soul destroying'. Rashford, who has been granted time to find a new club, has made little secret of his wish to play at Camp Nou, giving an interview in Spain and declaring he hopes to play with Barcelona's teenage sensation Lamine Yamal. But 1999 hero Teddy Sheringham has insisted that Rashford, 27, should not throw away his career at Old Trafford, comparing the situation with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who was stripped of the Arsenal captaincy and released before joining Barça. 'If you assess where Marcus Rashford is at as a professional footballer, you strive as a youngster to get to the very top and play for clubs like Manchester United, and when you're there, you appreciate it,' Sheringham told Sky Bet. 'You don't throw it away and say you want to leave. 'I find the whole episode very soul-destroying, compared to the way I was back in the day and how I strove to get the privilege to play for such a huge football club. 'To hear someone talking the way he is talking, saying he wants out – I didn't like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang doing that at Arsenal, I thought it was soul-destroying, and I hope Rashford doesn't get the move that he's hankering for. 'From my perspective, if you go from Manchester United to Barcelona, that's a step up that he hasn't deserved.' Rashford is one of five players who have been given time away from first-team training to find new clubs. Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia are also surplus to requirements. 'It's very easy to spend money on players, but it's hard to recoup it,' Sheringham added. 'It seems quiet, but I bet there's lots going on behind the scenes at Manchester United. Other clubs know United's position. 'They've made it known that they're looking to sell around five players, which signals to other clubs to make them ridiculous offers. 'I would assume that's what football clubs are doing around Europe, and Manchester United are turning them down at the moment. 'The longer that goes on, I reckon those offers might be a little less ridiculous, but United want these players off the books – they've made their bed and they've got to lie in it. 'They'll probably take anything from a quarter to a fifth of their asking price for some of them.' United's bomb squad and what we know about their futures Marcus Rashford His interview in Spain gave a clear hint that he wants to play for Barcelona, although he also complimented life in Spain and how he likes to train there as it is only a short flight for his family. His No10 shirt has been given to Matheus Cunha, which is an indicator of where he stands at United. In previous windows he has ruled out Turkey, making a reunion with Jose Mourinho at Fenerbahce unlikely without a change of heart. Alejandro Garnacho Chelsea have previously looked at him and the winger is looking at that calibre of club for his next destination. There were initial talks over whether Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia would be suitable but a deal did not get off the ground. Tyrell Malacia There has been a market for right-backs this window, with Kyle Walker moving and clubs such as Wolves and Everton looking at that position. But there are less obviously options for a left-back. Malacia had a long period out injured which does not help his cause but he was also a title-winner with PSV last season when he went out on loan. Antony Real Betis would like him back after his successful loan last season but getting the finances right for a deal is the problem. The Spaniards would look at a loan, which would involve some of the Brazilian's wages being covered by United. There has been suggestions United keeping a percentage of 'registration rights' would be one way a deal could be done. Jadon Sancho Chelsea paid a penalty to United rather than turning his loan into a permanent move. He has enjoyed a previous loan at Borussia Dortmund that went well. Juventus have looked at him but Francisco Conceicao, who they know from his loan from Porto last season, is an alternative option for them.
