“When naming the top three professionals in the Manchester United squad whom I’ve played with, they rank among the best I’ve encountered in my career. If INEOS can recruit a few more talented players, that team could dominate the football world. They possess the same winning mentality as I do.” Cristiano Ronaldo’s remarks subtly overlooked Marcus Rashford, highlighting the exceptional caliber of these individuals.
In a revealing interview, Cristiano Ronaldo once highlighted the top professionals at Manchester United during his second stint at the club, notably omitting Marcus Rashford from his list. Ronaldo’s departure from United in 2022, coupled with his criticisms of the club, manager Erik ten Hag, and the Glazer family, added weight to his remarks. He praised Diogo Dalot and Lisandro Martinez for their professionalism, indirectly overlooking Rashford.
This snub gains relevance as Rashford faces scrutiny for recent disciplinary issues, including missing a match due to illness following a night out. Ten Hag addressed Rashford’s absence, hinting at internal consequences. This isn’t the first time Rashford has faced disciplinary action, having been dropped previously for lateness and criticized for partying after a defeat.
