Marcus Rashford Aims Subtle Dig at Man Utd After Returning to Form at Barcelona
Marcus Rashford has seemingly blamed Manchester United for his career struggles, having returned to form at Barcelona.
Rashford left Man United during the summer transfer window as he joined Barca on a season-long loan.
The deal includes an option to make the transfer a permanent move, with the Catalan giants already making a decision on whether they will trigger the clause.
The 27-year-old has impressed since leaving England, scoring three goals and recording five assists in 10 games across all competitions.

Rashford's form at Barca has alerted Thomas Tuchel, who has regularly picked him in his squad ahead of next summer's World Cup.
He entered the fray as a second-half substitute against Wales last Thursday but could feature from the start when the Three Lions resume their World Cup qualifying campaign against Latvia on Tuesday.
Ahead of England's match against Latvia, Rashford sat down with ITV and was asked about Tuchel's assessment that he only needs consistency to take him to a world class level.
In response, the star forward suggested the environment he played in at Man United had prevented him from achieving that status.
"For sure, consistency is a massive part of it," he began.
"I feel like I have been in an inconsistent environment for a very long time, so it is even more difficult to be consistent.
"But I completely agree, I think consistency is what I need to bring into my game and I am looking to do that."
Rashford added: "I want to be at my best, not sometimes, but as often as possible.
"When people talk about consistency, in order to be consistent in anything not just sport, you need consistent variables in your life and the way you train.
"We have just had so many changes so far in my career but I have to look forward and that it definitely one of the things I want to put right and improve on to be at my best more often.
"When I am at my best I really enjoy everything about the sport."
