The discourse around Marcus Rashford is so toxic & hateful that you can't pretend it's just about football. The Barcelona announcement & the discussion since has been so hateful, so abusive.

He is one of the most successful Academy graduates the club has ever had & one of the great success stories. Has he handled everything perfectly? No, nobody pretends the last few years have been all that.

One of the reasons people love him so much is the memories he has given fans since Sir Alex. For younger fans, he's the guy they've followed his whole career & he's been that shining light through a darker time.

You can't even bring up his name without a wave of abuse. What has happened the past few days with ex-players like Teddy Sheringham & Steve Nicol is telling.

Marcus Rashford is a player, is a person, who by all accounts is a wonderful person who has lost his way at times. All that makes him? A human being.

I'm sad about what's happened. It's an ugly situation that nobody should look at fondly. He deserves this move to Barcelona, no matter what they tell you.
