Liverpool defender Alexander-Arnold has named ONE Man United’s player as the most difficult opponent he has ever faced in his career.
Kevin De Bruyne has strongly criticized Ruben Amorim’s decision to sell a particular Manchester United player, stating it could be one of the worst choices of his career. De Bruyne believes Amorim might regret this move in the future, especially considering the player in question has been tipped as a potential Ballon d’Or winner.
Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford’s potential move to Barcelona comes with a warning, as the English forward could face challenges adapting to the club’s strict disciplinary culture under manager Hansi Flick. Since taking charge in the summer, Flick has guided Barcelona to third place in La Liga and close to securing an automatic spot in the Champions League knockout stages. With the club looking to strengthen their squad for the latter half of the campaign, Rashford has emerged as a possible target.
The Manchester United star is reportedly eager for a fresh start after struggling over the past two seasons. However, his past disciplinary issues—including lateness, partying, and inconsistent training performances—have raised concerns. If such behavior continues at Barcelona, Rashford may find himself at odds with Flick, who has demonstrated a firm stance on discipline within the squad.
Recently, Flick dropped goalkeeper Iñaki Peña for the Supercopa de España semi-final against Athletic Club due to repeated lateness. Peña, who stepped up as Barcelona’s first-choice keeper following Marc-André ter Stegen’s injury, was benched in favor of former Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny. Flick later confirmed that the decision was a disciplinary measure, emphasizing that professional players must arrive on time. The manager stressed that being late three times left him with no choice but to take action.
The same standards could apply to Rashford if he joins the club. With Flick’s firm approach, there will be little tolerance for any lapses in discipline. Rashford, who has had a turbulent time at Manchester United, will need to ensure his commitment and professionalism meet the demands of his potential new manager to succeed at Barcelona.
As speculation over Rashford’s future continues, De Bruyne’s comments on Amorim’s decision to sell a Manchester United star further highlight the complexities surrounding transfers and the long-term impact they may have on both the player and the club involved.
