Rashford has scored 16 goals in 17 games since the World Cup.  He will be able to choose between Manchester United and PSG

The Englishman is working on a nice new contract.

Ronaldo repeated score

In football it is important to admit mistakes. Describing Rashford’s strengths – form following the arrival of ten Hag, interest from the world’s wealthiest clubs and youth enabling development – he expressed doubts that Marcus would become a football superstar. Probably, this formulation does not lose its relevance. Vardy also had prolific seasons in England but nobody puts him on the level of Lewandowski.

But we have to admit it: Rashford is great. The brace against dangerous Leicester not only underlined Marcus’ status in the Hag ten squad. The striker became the undisputed leader of the attacks with a personal best. Rashford has scored 24 goals in all competitions, equaling Ronaldo’s mark last season. Of course, you can look at Markus’ performance with skepticism, which we will do a little later. But it is impossible not to mark the form. 16 goals in 17 games since his return from Qatar: a brilliant result.

On the other hand, especially in Premier League Rashford has 14 goals and 3 assists for a total of 17 points. Haaland has 26 goals and 4 assists in his first season in the Premier League. Sac, who sometimes misses being featured on the season’s star list despite frequently helping Arsenal, has 17 points in goals and assists, level with Rashford. Brentford’s Ivan Tawney is also a top-flight striker and has been noticed by his team-mates as well. Rashford is among the heroes, but not the best.

Rashford has long earned respect

Off the field. During the pandemic, although there are hundreds of the most famous representatives of various fields in the UK – the population of the Commonwealth is approaching 70 million, only the Manchester United footballer had the good sense to raise the question of the survival of families poor with children. Marcus and his mother, who worked three jobs to provide for his family, understood the plight of others, even though they had long since become millionaires.

Melanie had lied to the children in the past about having eaten, because sometimes after dinner there wasn’t even a slice of bread left in the house. Rashford’s mum has been trying to raise her talented son properly, so during the global pandemic, the striker got the government, raised millions of pounds in aid and worked his way up. Children from poor families received free meals, which reduced the burden on family budgets.

A worthy son of a proud mother, but he doesn’t remember his father. There are two candidates for this position. Or Robert Rashford, who fathered five children with Melanie and Marcus’ half-sister with another woman, or a former player from Ghana, Michael Boy Markey. The old man claimed to be Rashford’s biological father. We don’t exclude that he met the footballer’s mother, but Marcus ignores this grandfather.

But negotiations on a new contract with Manchester United he cannot be erased from life, because in a year he will become a free agent if he does not renew the agreement. United await the sale of the club before being able to suspend the conclusion of the main contract for the team. But Marcus’ performance is costing him more than the £200,000 a week the striker is currently receiving. Both parties are interested in extending the agreement, because otherwise rich buyers for the English language will arrive in the summer, primarily from Paris.

It’s hard not to go wrong with your choice of club

A game PSG leaves a bad aftertaste. The Parisians defeated Lille 2-0, but traditionally Neymar got injured on the eve of his sister’s birthday: he twisted his leg, maybe he knocked it out for a long time, and the Parisians habitually relaxed and conceded three times. Nothing new, the fourth consecutive defeat shone. But then Mbappe and Messi scored from a free-kick in the last minutes – a beautiful kick with a rebound from the post brought victory to Galtier.

Kampusch’s adviser had to come down from the stands to the sidelines so that the players understood the seriousness of the moment. But a spectacular 4-3 win won’t fool analysts, fans and rivals like Bayern. TO PSG many problems, starting with the conflicts in the locker room between stars with sky-high salaries and more modest players in the rotation who feel disrespected. Parisians are a dangerous team for any newcomer.

Rashford if the sale goes well Manchester Unitedand ten reasonable Hag will get money for transfers, it is better to stay Manchester United? Of course, such a decision does not guarantee him victory Premier League in a year. IN PSG easier to collect internal trophies. But in his native club, Marcus can wait for Osimhen to arrive. The Nigerian, using the example of Kvaratskhelia, showed how he interacts with a player who moves to the left flank during attacks.

Since ten Hag does a lot, it is logical to assume that a fat contract with Manchester United – the right choice for Rashford. On the other hand, if PSG wants to get rid of Neymar, tired of going to poker tournaments, hamburger restaurants and parties for two days, then Mbappe and Messi can vote for the transfer of Rashford. But there’s no guarantee that Kilian and Lionel will stay in Paris for years, so the choice is difficult.

We wish Marcus good luck. Collected, work with maturity, eliminate some doubts. He will be able to perform steadily, which he was not able to do before: he realizes his potential of him. And if he runs after the money and makes a mistake in choosing a club, except PSG, Barcelona were interested in him, so there is no place in the base of the England national team either with Kane at the forefront, or after Harry retired. By the way, this is another candidate for the role of center forward Manchester United.

Ronaldo prevented Rashford from developing goalscoring potential, but Weghorst was needed for ten Hag schemes. After the Dutchman’s appearance, both Bruno and Markus are in perfect order, and Barcelona also failed to beat at home Manchester United. Next week is decisive for Rashford: the match against the Catalans and the League Cup final against Newcastle.

7 star football players who may miss the 2026 World Cup due to injury

7 star football players who may miss the 2026 World Cup due to injury

This summer, the 23rd FIFA World Cup finals will take place in the USA, Canada and Mexico. All professional football players, without exception, dream of playing in this tournament, from stars such as Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo to players whose names are not well known to the public (perhaps only for now).

However, some star and very famous football players are at risk of missing the next World Cup. The reason for this is health problems…

Joshko Guardiol

Age: 23 years old
Citizenship: Croatia
Club: Manchester City

Joschko Guardiol, the key defender of Manchester City, who has been playing for the “citizens” since the summer of 2023, suffered a serious injury recently – in the match against Chelsea in early January 2026, which ended with a score of 1: 1. As a result of the medical examination, a fracture was detected in the fibula bone of Guardiola’s right leg. Manchester City doctors immediately announced to the technical staff and club management that they could no longer trust the Croatian player at the end of this season. Yoshko’s estimated recovery time is approximately four months. However, this is the most favorable prognosis as recovery may take five or six months.

Theoretically, if Guardiol returns from hospital towards the end of May, he will have the chance to be included in the Croatian national team at the 2026 World Cup. Of course, the centre-back will have to go abroad without training and far from the best conditions, but… Without Josko, the Croatian national team will definitely lose a lot, because by the age of 23 Guardiola had already made 46 appearances and scored 4 goals for the “checkers”.

Takumi Minamino

Age: 30 years old
Citizenship: Japan
Club: Monaco

Takumi Minamino may not be a world football star, but he can certainly have such status in his native Japan. In the past, the winger had a two-and-a-half-year contract at Liverpool, but Takumi never managed to become a key figure for the Reds. As a result, Minamino has been playing in France since the summer of 2022 for Monaco, which paid a large sum of 15 million euros to the British for his transfer.

In Monaco, Minamino is constantly a key player, but on December 21 last year, in the 5th round match of the French Cup against Auxerre (2:1), the Japanese midfielder was injured, and then doctors determined that it was a rupture of the cruciate ligament in the knee. The normal recovery time in such cases is 6-9 months, effectively ending Takumi’s hopes of playing in the 2026 World Cup. It will be a real miracle if the midfielder, who played 73 times for Japan and helped the Blue Samurai defeat Brazil 3-2 in a friendly match in October, continues to take part in the tournament in the USA, Canada and Mexico.

Muhammed Salisu

Age: 26 years old
Citizenship: Ghana
Club: Monaco

Mohammed Salisu, Minamino’s teammate and one of the strongest players in the current Ghana national team, also risks not being able to play in the 2026 World Cup. The former football player from Southampton, for whom Monaco paid 15 million euros in August 2023, was injured in early January this year and it is very possible that he will not be able to go to the USA, Canada and Mexico as a player for the national team.

Doctors diagnosed Salisu with a cruciate ligament tear in his knee. In theory, this could mean that Muhammad will miss slightly less than he would with a rupture… But in the near future, Salis will need to undergo several additional examinations that will help determine the severity of his injury and what treatment would be more appropriate to choose. And there is a risk here that further examination will reveal that the African has more serious injuries than currently expected. Then he will definitely not be able to play in the 2026 World Cup, but so far doctors have not specified a specific time frame for recovery. It is clear that we are talking about months, not days or weeks…

Andreas Christensen

Age: 29 years old
Citizenship: Denmark
Club: barcelona

The Danish national team has not yet qualified for the 2026 World Cup. In March, this team will first have to play against North Macedonia and, if successful, in the play-offs against the winner of the Czech Republic-Ireland double. However, the Danes are seen as the favorites by many, but they will definitely have to earn a ticket to the tournament in the USA, Canada and Mexico without key defender Andreas Christensen.

The 29-year-old Barcelona defender, who lost his role as an important figure in the Blaugranas in recent years largely due to frequent health problems, suffered a partial rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee at the end of December last year and preferred a conservative treatment method. This in theory leaves Denmark with a better chance of continuing to play at the 2026 World Cup in the summer if they manage to qualify.

Eder Militao

Age: 27 years old
Citizenship: Brazil
Club: Real

On December 8, 2025, it was learned that Eder Militao, the defender of Real Madrid and the Brazilian national team, was injured. It was related to a muscle tear in his left thigh, which resulted in doctors deciding it would take around four months for the Brazilian player to fully recover. In fact, we should see Militao on the football fields at the beginning of April, two months before the start of the 2026 World Cup.

It would seem, what is the risk of Eder missing the World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico? The problem is that Militao has literally become “glass” in recent years. It haunts injury after injury. Muscle injuries and cruciate ligament problems in the knee have almost become a “chronic” for the Brazilian defender; Therefore, no one has confidence in Militao’s real playing conditions and abilities to go to North America in the summer. It is worth noting that Eder played four matches for the Selecao in the 2022 World Cup; two in the group stage, 1/8 against South Korea in the final (4:1) and 1/4 against Croatia in the final (1:1, 2:4 – on penalties).

Justin Kluivert

Age: 26 years old
Citizenship: Holland
Club: Bournemouth

Bournemouth and Netherlands midfielder Justin Kluivert, the son of legendary former Orange forward Patrick Kluivert, may also join the sadness of those who will miss the final part of the 2026 World Cup due to health problems. Justin had surgery on his problematic knee on January 4 and now doctors will try to get him back on his feet as soon as possible so that Kluivert can continue to be useful to both Bournemouth and the Dutch national team.

Predictions so far are that Justin will return by April. This will allow the football player to realize his dream and play in the World Cup, especially since Justin took part in six matches and made one assist. But you can think as far ahead as you want and, more importantly, how Kluivert’s recovery process will actually progress after he missed a total of two calendar months last year due to various injuries and health problems…

Levi Colwill

Age: 22 years old
Citizenship: England
Club: Chelsea

Young defender Levi Colwill was seen by many observers as one of the key figures in the process of rejuvenating the England national team squad. Colwill made his debut in the “three lions” camp in October 2023 and was expected to go to the 2026 World Cup as he was the best player for his hometown Chelsea last year and is currently valued at up to 50 million euros on the Transfermarkt portal, but…

In August 2025, Levi tore his “crucifixes”, so he was away from football for a long time. Latest predictions suggest Colwill’s recovery is expected in late May or early June, making it extremely unlikely that this will contribute to the Chelsea center being recalled to the England squad for the 2026 World Cup. In the end, Thomas Tuchel in the USA, Canada and Mexico will need the most prepared football players who can finally seriously compete for the championship and are not limited to elimination at an early stage or a brave fight almost to the end, but without winning the cup. We would like to remind you that Football England was waiting for its second championship because it won its first and first in the 1966 World Cup.
