Luke Littler calls for Marcus Rashford’s return to Manchester United
Teenage darts sensation Luke Littler has called on Manchester United to welcome back Marcus Rashford as he continues his loan spell at FC Barcelona, reports BritPanorama.
Littler, 19, a devoted supporter of United, expressed his desire for Rashford to return to the club where he has made a significant impact. “Bring Marcus Rashford back, please. Thank you,” he remarked when asked about his wish for the team.
The young athlete has followed Rashford’s journey closely, recalling highlights from his early days, including his debut match against Arsenal and his peak performances while wearing the iconic No. 10 shirt. “I still remember his first Premier League match against Arsenal and that famous debut brace under Louis van Gaal,” Littler said.
Rashford is currently performing with Barcelona, where he has scored 10 goals this season, contributing to the team’s successes while on loan. His future at United, however, remains uncertain, as the club is reportedly preparing to offload him permanently. This development comes amid indications from caretaker manager Michael Carrick that he does not plan to reintegrate Rashford into the squad.
Despite the ambiguous outlook from United’s management, Littler remains hopeful for a reunion, even jokingly offering to support Rashford’s return financially. “I don’t think so. But I’ll pay his wages for a week, sort VIP tickets, and then he can head back to the Stretford End,” he quipped, expressing his enduring admiration for the player.
As Rashford navigates his current stint abroad, the prospect of his returning to Old Trafford may hinge on more than just his on-field performance. It serves as a reminder of how player trajectories can shift dramatically, echoing the fine line between heroism and disillusionment in football.
