Barcelona has signed Rashford on a season-long loan this week after the England international forged a way out of United and away from manager Ruben Amorim who he is said to have fallen out with. The 27 year old was unveiled on Wednesday at Camp Nou, where he declared: “I feel at home here – it's where dreams come true.”
Jordan has ripped into Rashford in a rant that may reveal some truths about why he left United and felt like he had to escape to Barcelona despite many fans wanting him to stay. He blames the player as well as the club hierarchy who their decision making in recent years.
"We should lament the loss of a significant talent. I don't think he was ever at the level he was built up to be but we should lament the loss of the culture of Man United for a player to lose his way.
"Do you remember after the European Championships he hadn't been fit a lot of the season, was in the European Championships squad... came into that. After the European Championships, the club allowed him to go on holiday for two weeks and then have a shoulder surgery. Hang on... Get your priorities right!”
"I think you have to lay the responsibility on the opportunities that have not been taken by the player at his own door, but if you don't create the culture for these young men to respect and value the opportunities that they've got, they can then get distracted by outside influences."
Rashford is the first men's England international to sign for Barcelona since Gary Lineker in 1986 and Jordan admits that he thinks he will be a huge success with the Catalan side as he will be away from the toxic culture at United that is both on and off the pitch.
"I think he'll be successful at Barcelona because the clear thing for Marcus Rashford is to get away from Manchester United. That's for Man United's sake and Marcus Rashford's sake - and we should lament that because he's a good player."
