Manchester United – **BREAKING NEWS:** “Cristiano Ronaldo Ruined Everything for Him at Man United” – Journalist Finally Reveals the Truth Behind Rashford’s Shocking Exit. Published 1 day ago on February 5, 2025, By Destiny Omodion
Marcus Rashford’s tenure at Manchester United has ended unexpectedly and controversially, with journalist Mark Ogden claiming that Cristiano Ronaldo was a key factor in the decline of the English forward’s career at Old Trafford.
After bursting onto the scene as a teenager and being recognized as one of the most promising talents in English football, Rashford’s career has taken a significant downturn in recent years. While many have pointed to injuries, loss of form, and attitude issues, Ogden has now revealed that the true reason behind Rashford’s struggles was Ronaldo’s return to Manchester United in 2021.
**How Ronaldo’s Return Altered Everything for Rashford**
In an exclusive interview, Ogden explained that Rashford was on track to become one of United’s greatest players, but Ronaldo’s arrival disrupted his progress and damaged his confidence.
“Before Ronaldo came back, Rashford was on fire. He had just come off a brilliant 2020-21 season, scoring goals, creating chances, and showing leadership on the pitch. He was evolving into a world-class forward,” Ogden said.
“But when Ronaldo returned, everything changed. Suddenly, the entire team revolved around him. Rashford, who had been playing as the main man in attack, was pushed aside. His confidence took a hit because he was no longer the focal point of the attack.”
**The Dressing Room Divide**
Ogden also suggested that Ronaldo’s demanding nature in the dressing room created a toxic atmosphere for Rashford. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner’s high expectations and dominant personality allegedly made it difficult for Rashford to thrive.
“Rashford was never the same after Ronaldo came back. He stopped playing with the same freedom and confidence. There were also reports of clashes in the dressing room, with some younger players feeling overshadowed and pressured by Ronaldo’s influence,” Ogden continued.
Although Ronaldo’s brilliance was indisputable, his presence upset the team’s balance. Rashford, who had been developing into a leader at United, was relegated to a secondary role, and his form drastically dropped.
**A Shocking Exit for Rashford**
Now, after months of speculation, Rashford has officially parted ways with Manchester United. While the club has not disclosed all the details of his departure, sources close to the player indicate that he felt unwanted and undervalued after struggling for so long to regain his peak form.
Many fans are now questioning what might have happened if Rashford had been allowed to thrive without Ronaldo’s influence. Some believe he could have become the face of Manchester United for years, while others argue that he never fully recovered from the effect of Ronaldo’s return.
With Rashford now seeking a fresh start elsewhere, one question remains: Was he truly ruined by Ronaldo’s arrival, or was it simply a case of a player failing to meet expectations?
Only time will tell if Rashford can rediscover his best form away from Old Trafford. But one thing is certain—his departure marks the end of an era, and fans will forever debate whether Cristiano Ronaldo played a role in his downfall.
