Rashford has a piece of advice for Man Utd - and they're not going to like it

New era has begun for Marcus Rashford, after the Manchester United forward joined Barcelona on a season-long loan.

Talking to Gary Lineker and Micah Richards in an interview for The Rest is Football, touching on a number of topics, including United.

United have been stuck in a holding pattern, something that Liverpool have navigated their way out of, while the Red Devils could not adapt to the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era.

"People say we've been in a transition for years, but in order to be in a transition, you have to actually start it. The transition hasn't started. When Liverpool got Jirgen Klopp, they stuck with him. They didn't win in the beginning. But nobody remembers that. But you have to make a plan and stick with it.

"We've had so many managers, that you just end up nowhere, in no-man's land. 100% [it hurts], not just as a player, but as a United fan.”

Rashford lamented the fact United are no longer a club that produces players ready for the first team.

"Under Fergie, the system was the same for the whole academy, so you could pick players from 15 onwards. Whereas if you're changing all the time, it's different. It's reactionary. You can't expect to be able to win."

"You might win a cup tournament, because you have a good coach, good players and a good team. It's not an accident. But when I take a step back and think about it, with regard to where people want United to be, what do you expect?"

He was asked which of his eight Manchester United managers had had the most impact on him.

"The most influential managers on me have probably been [Louis] van Gaal, Jose [Mourinho] and Ole [Gunnar Solksjaer]. It's difficult to compare, but they are obviously the managers I had while I was developing, so they have a bigger impact. Like van Gaal, wanted you to play well. Before Jose, I had never had a manager so fixated on winning. If he could choose, he wanted to play well, but he didn't care if you won. That's all that mattered."

Rashford admitted that it was something that he struggled with initially.

"He had that attitude, and it was confusing for me, because in the academy, even if I'd won, if we hadn't played well, I was angry about the stuff that was missing. Jose didn't bring up those points if you won, whereas if you lost, he'd bring them up then. After like six months, I learnt to respect it, and reap the rewards from him as a coach."
