Tim Sherwood recently commented on how Marcus Rashford would perform if he were to play for Manchester City. In November, Sherwood had expressed his belief that Rashford had the skill to join City and specifically highlighted how Pep Guardiola could enhance his defensive capabilities.

Sherwood has previously suggested that Bruno Fernandes also has the potential to play for City and that his attitude could improve under Guardiola’s management. Now, Sherwood is claiming that Rashford not only has the ability to play for City but would excel at the Etihad Stadium.

Despite Rashford’s current season stats of five goals and three assists in 21 Premier League appearances for Manchester United, Sherwood believes that Rashford would thrive at City. He mentioned on talkSPORT that if Rashford were to move to City, he would be “ripping it up” and urged United fans not to overlook his potential.

Sherwood’s argument about Rashford’s potential at City could be tested by observing how Jeremy Doku evolves at the club. Though Rashford and Doku have different profiles, with Doku being a superior dribbler and possessing similar directness and pace, both players share similarities as young talents.

Ultimately, if Guardiola can elevate Doku’s game as he has with previous signings, it could offer insight into how Rashford could have developed under his guidance. This comparison highlights the importance of nurturing young talent and the impact a top-class manager like Guardiola can have on a player’s development.

It will be interesting to see how Rashford’s career progresses at United and if Sherwood’s predictions about his potential at City come to fruition. Watching Doku’s evolution at City may provide further evidence of Guardiola’s influence on young players and how it could have impacted Rashford’s growth at a different club.
