“You see it with every team that was successful over a certain period of time – you have principles that every trainer who comes in, every player who comes in can align these principles or add these principles.
“While I sometimes feel that United was just … We are hungry to win, so we will always try to adapt and sign players that fit this system. But it is reactionary.
“If your direction changes constantly, you cannot expect to win the league. Yes, you could win some Cup tournaments, but it is because you have a good coach and have good players and have players in your team – you are not there by chance.
“Some people forget that. So yes, we were far down where we walk as a united for one step. But if you take a step back, which I have been able to do in the past six months, you can expect that we have had a transition for years.

And while United fans undoubtedly don’t want to hear this, Rashford believes that the club can learn from the beginning of the Jürgen Klopp -ära.

“To start a transition, you have to create a plan and adhere to it. So that’s what I feel – it’s not easy. Because if things are not going well, the fans demand demand [change]. But here I am talking that I am realistic with the situation.
“I have the feeling that we had so many different managers and different ideas and different strategies to win … They end up in the middle – they end up in no country.”
