Paul Pogba speaks on Rashford’s Barcelona move – ‘Man United are losing a great player’ | OneFootball

New AS Monaco signing and former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has shared his thoughts on Marcus Rashford’s move to Barcelona.

Pogba, who started his career at Manchester United and later returned after a successful spell at Juventus, crossed paths with Rashford during his second stint at Old Trafford.

Speaking during a live chat with streamer Speedy HQ, Pogba openly expressed his happiness for Rashford while also highlighting what he sees as a mistake by his former club.

Pogba admitted he finds the situation “crazy” but is genuinely pleased for Rashford. He commented, “I’m happy for him because they took away his number in Manchester.”

His words reflect not only support for his former teammate but also a hint of criticism towards Manchester United’s handling of the situation.

Pogba feels United will regret this decision

During the conversation, the Frenchman did not hold back at all when it came to assessing the move from United’s perspective. “They are losing a great player. It’s bad for them, but it’s great for Barcelona,” he said.

Pogba suggested that while United have made new signings and their manager, Ruben Amorim, is trying to implement his own style, sometimes these situations are unavoidable.

Pogba added, “It is not his (the coach) fault, I guess, if he doesn’t believe in a player… They have to win, in the end, if they don’t win and don’t play well, they will dismiss him.”

In closing, Pogba made it clear that he is rooting for Rashford’s success at Barça, saying, “I’m happy for Marcus.”

It must be noted that Rashford and Pogba shared a good friendship during their time at Manchester United. The two played a total of 187 matches together at Man United and had nine joint-goal participations.
