Gary Lineker Observes Change in Marcus Rashford After Leaving Manchester United
Gary Lineker has noticed a significant transformation in Marcus Rashford since the forward left Manchester United. Rashford, now on loan at Barcelona, has impressed with his performances this season.
Rashford's Revival at Barcelona
After moving to Barcelona on loan, Rashford has regained top form. In 14 games, he has scored six goals and provided seven assists. One highlight was his excellent goal against Elche, reflecting a series of strong performances that suggest Barcelona may activate their purchase option.
A Different Player on the Pitch
Rashford appears renewed and happier, playing with a smile and showing a level of confidence different from when he left Manchester United. His career seems revitalized in Spain.
Gary Lineker's Insights on Rashford's Progress
“Yeah, I’m really pleased for him, because obviously he had a tough year or two at Manchester United. And there were difficulties there, and he lost his form a little bit and probably lost his confidence. And, you know, football is full of ups and downs.”
“But I think with Marcus in particular, he seems to be either, you know, when he’s on fire, he’s fantastic, but he can dip and form. And hopefully, that won’t happen at Barcelona. He’s more mature now.”
Summary
Marcus Rashford's loan to Barcelona has revitalized his career, where he plays confidently and consistently, a change acknowledged by Gary Lineker.
