England forward Marcus Rashford has appeared to take aim at his former club, Manchester United, blaming the club’s “inconsistent environment” for his struggles in recent years.
Speaking to ITV ahead of England’s Euro 2026 qualifier against Latvia on Tuesday, Rashford responded to Thomas Tuchel’s recent comments that consistency could take him to a world-class level.
The 27-year-old, who has rediscovered form since joining Barcelona, admitted that while he agrees consistency is key, the unstable atmosphere at United made it difficult to perform at his best.
“For sure, consistency is a massive part of it,” Rashford said.
“I feel like I have been in an inconsistent environment for a very long time, so it is even more difficult to be consistent.
But I completely agree, I think consistency is what I need to bring into my game and I am looking to do that.”
Rashford added that regularity in training, management, and overall club structure are crucial for players to stay in top form — something he felt was missing during his time at Old Trafford.
“When people talk about consistency, in order to be consistent in anything — not just sport — you need consistent variables in your life and the way you train,” he explained.
“We have just had so many changes so far in my career, but I have to look forward. That’s definitely one of the things I want to put right and improve on — to be at my best more often. When I am at my best, I really enjoy everything about the sport.”
Rashford’s remarks come as Manchester United continue to navigate managerial changes and uneven performances, while the England international appears to have found stability and confidence in Spain.
