The United academy graduate is tipped to leave Old Trafford this summer and is consistently linked with the likes of Barcelona and Bayern Munich who have eased interest in the England international as of late as they chase down Liverpool’s Luis Diaz.
Now, as Rashford’s future remains uncertain, Sheringham is now hoping that the 27-year-old's proposed move to away this summer does not materialise as he spoke to Sky Bet about how Rashford has consistently disrespected the club.
"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. 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.”
Rashford has spent a decade at United, scoring 138 goals in 426 appearances. He went on loan to Aston Villa in January where he scored 4 goals and bagged 5 assists in 17 appearances. His attitude and off-field antics were called out by previous manager Erik ten Hag and despite his impressive performances, Sheringham believes his behaviour overshadows how he has performed on the pitch.
"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."
