Original Title: Marcus Rashford on United’s issues: "To start a transition you have to make a plan and stick to it. This is where I speak about being realistic about what your situation is. We’ve had that many different managers, ideas and strategies in order to win that you end up in no man’s land.”
“People say that we’ve been in a transition for years but to be in a transition you have to start it. The actual transition hasn’t started yet.
“When Liverpool went through this, they got [Jurgen] Klopp and stuck with him. They didn’t win in the beginning. People only remember his final few years when he was competing with City and winning the biggest trophies.
“To start a transition you have to make a plan and stick to it.
“This is where I speak about being realistic about what your situation is. We’ve had that many different managers, ideas and strategies in order to win that you end up in no man’s land.”
On the pain of United’s decline and whether it hurts, he added: “Yeah, 100 per cent. But not just as a player but as a fan.”
“When Ferguson was in charge, not only were there principles for the first team but they were for the whole academy,” he added.
“So you could pick players from 15 years and they’d all understand the principles of playing the Manchester United way. Any team that has been successful over a period of time has principles that mean that any coach or player that comes in has to align to or add to the principles.
“At times, United were hungry to win but it was reactionary. If your direction is always changing you can’t expect to win the league.”
