Marcus Rashford tipped to complete the ‘ultimate betrayal’ by sealing a sensational move to Liverpool this summer.

Marcus Rashford has been backed to make what would be viewed as the “ultimate betrayal” by joining Liverpool, according to Manchester United icon Teddy Sheringham.

The England forward is expected to return to Old Trafford after spending last season on loan at Barcelona, where he enjoyed an impressive campaign, helping the Spanish giants win La Liga while contributing 14 goals and 14 assists. Rashford had hoped to make his stay in Spain permanent, but Barcelona opted to sign fellow England international Anthony Gordon instead, leaving his long-term future uncertain.

Rashford’s relationship with former United manager Ruben Amorim deteriorated before his departure, leading to his exclusion from the first-team setup and placement in the club’s so-called “bomb squad” of players made available for transfer. That situation saw him spend time on loan at Aston Villa before moving to Barcelona.

Although Tottenham have recently been linked with the 28-year-old as Roberto De Zerbi continues his major squad rebuild, Sheringham believes an even more controversial switch to Liverpool cannot be completely dismissed.

The former United striker admitted such a move would outrage supporters but insisted Rashford must ultimately make the best decision for his own career if Manchester United are no longer willing to keep him.

Despite raising the possibility of a sensational transfer to Anfield, Sheringham also suggested there is still a path back at Old Trafford. With two years remaining on Rashford’s contract and Michael Carrick now in charge of United, he believes the club should remain in control of the situation rather than allowing the player to dictate his future.

Sheringham argued that United should look to reintegrate Rashford into the squad if possible, pointing out that long-term contracts come with responsibilities for both the club and the player. He added that if Rashford can rediscover his best form, work hard for the team, and start delivering goals again, any previous disagreements could quickly become a thing of the past.
