“He’s made it clear…”: Alan Shearer makes claim on Marcus Rashford future | OneFootball

Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer believes there is no way back to Manchester United for Marcus Rashford.

Rashford ended up joining Unai Emery’s Aston Villa on a short loan deal during the last winter window. He has been on fire since making the move, and it has certainly worked out for all parties involved.

His impressive performances have sparked rumours that he could now be back in Ruben Amorim’s plans at Old Trafford. But Alan Shearer feels there is no way back for the 27-year-old.

Rashford wasn’t in the best of form during the first half of the season, and things went from bad to worse for him following Ruben Amorim’s arrival towards the end of 2024. The Portuguese manager wasn’t pleased with his efforts on and off the field, and he ended up leaving him out of their squad on quite a few occasions.

While he has been in fine form and United could consider reinstating him in their team, Shearer believes that is not happening as long as Amorim is in charge.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa are considering securing his services permanently, and they have a £40 million buy option in the deal. Rashford appears to be interested in a move to Barcelona, making
